  • Day 1

    London to Isle of Wight

    Leave from Victoria Coach Station at 9:15 AM. You'll need to check in by 8:45 AM. The drive to Portsmouth takes about 2 hours followed by an hour-long ferry ride to the Isle of Wight. One traveler noted: "Christo, our guide, timed the Portsmouth arrival perfectly to avoid the lunchtime crowds at Spinnaker Tower." Try to sit on the port side of the ferry to see Portsmouth's historic dockyards.

    
  • Day 2

    Isle of Wight Exploration

    Stay in Shanklin and visit Osborne House first thing in the morning around 10 AM before the tour groups arrive. Head to The Needles in the afternoon but bring a windproof jacket. The viewpoint gets quite windy. If you're visiting from April to September, go to St Catherine's Down for a beautiful sunset photo opportunity.

    
  • Day 3

    Stonehenge and Winchester

    Take an early ferry back to the mainland. You'll walk on lots of cobbled streets in Winchester, the ancient capital, so wear comfortable shoes. At Stonehenge, book your entry time ahead if you're visiting in peak summer. The land train to the stones runs every 10 minutes. You'll spend the night in Exeter, where you'll stay for two nights.

    
  • Day 4

    Dartmoor National Park

    Spend the day exploring Dartmoor's wild landscape. The weather changes quickly here so bring layers. Visit the Clapper Bridge at Postbridge early for the best photos. Back in Exeter you can take your time exploring the 900-year-old cathedral and Roman walls.

    
  • Days 5-6

    Cornwall Coast

    Get an early start at Tintagel Castle since parking fills up fast. Next visit Port Isaac, a pretty fishing village. A visitor advised: "The coastal path from Port Isaac has incredible views, but wear proper walking shoes - it gets slippery even in dry weather." On day 6 visit St. Michael's Mount but check the tide schedule first as it affects access. Continue to Land's End and the Minack Theatre for great coastal views. Just note the theatre closes Mondays and Tuesdays in winter.

    
  • Day 7

    Return to London

    Stop at Glastonbury on your final day. The 20-minute climb up the Tor rewards you with views across five counties on clear days. You'll reach London Victoria around 7:30 PM, so plan any onward train travel after 8:30 PM.
