Get to Know Lucy
I'm from Fowey, and my roots here go back beyond 1531 — so when I say this place is in my blood, I mean it. I've walked the entire coast path, I'm a qualified Lowland Leader, and I've been guiding independently since 2016 — but what really sets me apart is that I know the Cornwall that doesn't make the guidebooks. The moorland that most people drive past. The creeks that don't have signs. The viewpoints that still make me stop, even after all these years. I was also on-set during the Poldark filming, so if you want behind-the-scenes stories, I have a few. Come ready to be surprised — that's my favourite part.

Lucy's Tour
Tors to Shore
by Lucy
This tour connects the ancient rock formations of the moorland with the sheltered coves of Cornwall's south coast — two landscapes that feel like different worlds yet sit mere miles apart. Literary trails run through the heart of it, alongside geology, industrial heritage and working fishing harbours. Every evening is spent somewhere handpicked — from a grand Victorian mansion overlooking Fowey harbour to Michelin-listed restaurants where the menu depends on what the boats landed that morning. By the end of the week, you'll understand why Daphne du Maurier never left.
