Hotels: No overnight accommodation is included allowing you the freedom and flexibility to arrange your own hotels in Cornwall. For further advise and a list of recommended hotels please email our office.

Mobility: This tour is not suitable for guests requiring the use of a wheelchair or with severe mobility issues as the platforms at some remote stations in the highlands are much shorter than our train, low, or accessible only by a footbridge or steps.
