Pentillie Castle
Live like lords and ladies for six sumptuous nights at Pentillie, reserved exclusively for The Wayfarers. The elegantly restored Pentillie Castle (built 1698) on the banks of the Tamar River (which forms the border between Devon and Cornwall) provides a springboard for visiting the pick of the best features in both counties. The week encompasses a tour of historic Plymouth (Pilgrim Fathers, Spanish Armada), coastal walking, wild walking on atmospheric Dartmoor (home of the Hound of the Baskervilles) and a visit to a former home of Sir Francis Drake.
Imagine the Thrill of Having Your Own English Castle
Sir James Tillie, 1645-1713
New Zealand - A group of 9 well-traveled friends Sadly, we have finished our walking, which exceeded all expectations.
Geoff and Colin were amazing and the walking was great.
This has been a trip of a lifetime!
Etruscan Hilltop Towns - A family of 14; three generationsOur family are all very active and I think they were pleasantly exhilaratedwith the number of kilometers covered.
We simply cannot write enough kudos for the walk, the scenery, the lack,thank God of tourist-infested landscapes, the food, and most of all, the specialoutstanding care of Alessandro and Lesley.
We appreciated spending all the nights in one location…..that was huge!
Pentillie Castle - A family of 18; three generationsPretty damn perfect!
We were staying in wonderful places and saw gorgeous scenery. How do youbeat that?!
Welsh Coast - A family of 7 siblings, cousins, and spousesSuch high quality in every aspect.
We were a family and really liked some meals with leaders and some without.
Talented and personable guide, sensitive to the needs of a family group. Walkleader was skilled and charming.
Italian Lakes - A family of 14; three generationsMy family all did the walks! Except me, I’m too old!
