Are you planning to visit Cornwall, England? Would you like to go on a day tour with a knowledgeable local? If so, I highly recommend Cornwall Discovery.
Cornwall Discovery
Barry Pengelly owns and operates Cornwall Discovery. As his surname suggests, he was born and raised in Cornwall. His surname, Pengelly, comes from the Cornish language. According to Barry, Pen means top of the hill. Barry is a Cornish history buff.
Cornwall Discovery can pick you up for your tour anywhere in Cornwall. He drives a very comfortable Land Rover Discovery in which he is licensed to carry up to six passengers. According to Barry, he operates everyday and does his tours all year. Go by yourself or take along your friends.
Tours
Barry has a variety of tours listed on his website or he can cater the tour to what interests you. He can take you to filming locations in Cornwall. One tour he lists covers Doc Martin locations and towns in northern Cornwall. He lives outside of Port Isaac where Doc Martin is filmed. Barry was a driver for the actors on Poldark during filming, so he also is very knowledgeable about Poldark locations. He has one tour that covers Poldark filming locations. Visit his website to check out other tours he offers.
I went along with Barry for two days. One day included some locations I asked specifically to see related to King Arthur and other locations worth seeing nearby. Another day, I just asked him to take me to some scenic Coastal towns. We went to St Ives, some Poldark locations, and a few other locations south of there along the coast that included the Minack Theatre and Mousehole. I was very happy with the locations he picked. Barry related some interesting historical information along the way. Cornish history is his passion.
Will you be in Cornwall without a car? If you do have a car, would you just rather see all the best spots in Cornwall that only a local could show you? Then contact Barry at Cornwall Discovery.

Yes, the scenery is lovely. It seems like you can’t miss by going to any of the coastal villages.

Sounds like you went to some of the best places. We stayed in St. Ives earlier this year we also visited that exact spot in your picture of the mines and I stayed nervously ( in terror ) watching as Cyberspouse clambered down to set his tripod up. He didn’t go over the edge, but from my viewpoint it looked very dodgy!

Dodgy indeed! I am afraid of heights myself. I see people do things that make me cringe. I saw a teenager walk up and around Tintagel glued to her phone. I thought for sure she would end up in the sea.

I love Cornwall – we were there earlier this year outside of the tourist season, but there is something special about being somewhere that is usually jam-packed with people when it isn’t busy.

I can only visit there during the summer. It is quite crowded when schools let out. I am guessing like many tourist areas not all businesses are open in the off season?
