Cornwall Geography

Travel and the Eden Project

Depart and the Eden Project.

You will depart school by coach in the morning, bringing a packed lunch for the journey, and spend the afternoon at the Eden Project. Your group can work through the Rainforest and Mediterranean biomes with a workshop on climate change, sustainability or biomes, chosen to suit your specification. You will then continue to your accommodation to check in for an evening meal. There is no further use of the coach after dinner due to driver's hours, so we recommend an evening activity such as a quiz.

Day 2

Mining and regeneration

Heartlands and the Cornish mining landscape.

After breakfast you will travel to Heartlands, built on a former tin mine at the centre of Cornwall's mining district and now part of a World Heritage Site. It is a working example of how a post-industrial landscape gets reused, and a useful anchor for economic change and regeneration.

Geevor Tin Mine.

In the afternoon you will continue to Geevor Tin Mine on the West Penwith coast. Your students can go underground into an 18th century mine and work through the Hard Rock Museum, looking at how the industry shaped settlement, employment and the landscape long after it closed. You will then return to your accommodation for an evening meal.

Day 3

The West Penwith coast

Coastal fieldwork with a specialist geography guide.

After breakfast you will meet your specialist geography guide for a day on the coast. Depending on conditions and your specification, this can cover coastal erosion and landforms, biodiversity, green energy and the human geography of the Lizard, Land's End and the north Cornwall beaches.

Land's End.

You will stop at Land's End, the most westerly point of mainland England, for the cliff views out to the Atlantic and a look at how a honeypot site is managed.

St Michael's Mount.

You will finish at St Michael's Mount in Marazion, crossing the man-made causeway on foot or by boat depending on the tide. Your group can climb the cobbled steps to the castle at the top of the island. The castle and gardens are open April to October. You will then return for an evening meal.

Day 4

Padstow and the journey home

Padstow and the National Lobster Hatchery.

After breakfast and check out you will travel home via Padstow and the National Lobster Hatchery. Padstow is a working fishing harbour on the north coast and a clear case study in how tourism reshapes a small coastal settlement. The hatchery works on protecting vulnerable lobster stocks and shows your students marine conservation in practice, before your return coach journey to school.
