Overview
Leave the car behind and come explore some of the most beautiful scenery in the UK with Chris in his vintage taxi.
It's not just pretty; it's an incredibly old landscape, and its history goes back beyond the dawn of civilization.
We don't just concentrate on ancient history; we discover what part of North Cornwall plays in today's modern world and in the security of the nation.
We visit forgotten castles; you'll hear of legends and heroes; you'll marvel at awe-inspiring scenery, and you'll learn to dowse.

We will collect you from your home or holiday accommodation from anywhere within around ten miles of the North Cornish Coast from Morwenstow to Tintagel. (Roughly an area encompassing Wadebridge, Holsworthy and Hartland.) We can meet you at a car park or bus stop if you are travelling to meet us from outside this area.
What To Expect
Hawker's Hut
A gentle stroll of about a mile brings us to the smallest property owned by The National Trust. Built entirely of driftwood by The Rev R.S.Hawker, he spent many hours here inspired in his writings by the magnificent coastline.
