Bespoke Tours | Thoughtfully Designed Around You

Welcome to Kernow

Cornwall, in Cornish – in Kernewek

Cornwall is a place of legend, coastline and quiet corners waiting to be discovered.

Perhaps you imagine the dramatic ruins of Tintagel Castle, the wild beauty of Boscastle, or the woodland paths leading to St Nectan’s Glen.

Or you may be drawn to North Cornwall’s rugged cliffs and sweeping Atlantic views.

Ancient & Elemental

Stone circles and Neolithic settlements.
Sacred wells, quoits and hidden fogous.
Echoes of lives lived thousands of years ago.

Further west, the granite tors and engine houses of Cornwall’s mining past rise from the landscape — stark, powerful, unforgettable.

Coast & Island

The tidal causeway to St Michael’s Mount.
The endless horizon at Land’s End.
Subtropical gardens above the sea.
Creeks that wind quietly inland from the Helford.

Traditional fishing villages.
Peaceful sandy coves.
Harbours that still work with the rhythm of tide and catch.

As Seen on Screen

The galleries and sea views of St Ives.

Cornwall’s light and landscape have long inspired filmmakers, artists and writers alike.

Flavour & Character

Locally landed seafood.
Independent galleries.
Folk traditions and historic inns where stories linger.

The Lizard Peninsula.
The South West Coast Path.
Hidden places you may not yet have heard of.

Designed Around You

Each tour is individually created — shaped around your interests, the season, the weather, the tides and the pace that suits you best.

Some guests prefer ancient history.
Others seek coastal walks, photography stops or time to sit quietly overlooking the sea.

Your day unfolds naturally, with space to respond to what Cornwall offers in the moment.

(And yes — Brioc may join us by arrangement.)

Planning Your Day

To begin shaping your tour, I simply need to know:

  • Where you are staying
  • When you are visiting
  • How far you are comfortable walking
  • The pace and level of exploration you prefer

From there, your itinerary is thoughtfully crafted.

Weather-Responsive, Individually Designed Tours

Cornwall changes with light, tide and season.
Your experience adapts accordingly.

Let us create a Cornwall that feels entirely your own.

  • An excellent guide
    with interesting local knowledge. We had no idea what to see & do in Cornwall, but she designed a tour for us that made for an enjoyable day.

  • Zoe’s Knowledge of the History, Flora & Culture of the Area is Encyclopedic…however it was her love & enthusiasm for Cornwall as much as her erudition which made this such a magic experience. Over the past 25 years we have been to various areas
    in the United Kingdom at least ten times.
    We have visited on our own & with our children both with & without driver/guides. We have been fortunate to have enjoyed many special experiences during these travels. 
    Having noted this, we both feel that there was something  truly unique & magic about our recent trip to Cornwall.
    While there were multiple factors which contribute to this magic, including the breathtaking scenery, the perfect weather & our timing (we were able to enjoy Padstow’s May Day Celebration), we both feel that the major factor which shaped our very positive experience was our guide.

  • Highly Recommend Zoe for Anyone Looking to Explore the Area with a
    Thoughtful, Customized Touch. We had an absolutely fantastic experience in Cornwall thanks to Zoe Young. She was incredibly knowledgeable about all things Cornwall – history, culture, & hidden gems.
    Zoe‘s personable approach made the tour both engaging & enjoyable. What really stood out was how she tailored the experience to our interests, ensuring every stop was meaningful to us. Her passion for the region shone through & we left with a deep appreciation for Cornwall.
