Taste more than a Cornish Pasty in St Ives
Some argue that pasties originate from Devon but there’s no doubt that Cornwall has made the pasty world famous! You will find a lot more than pasty shops this spring in St Ives with its surfable, sandy beaches, enchanting fishermen’s cottages, art galleries and 18th century pier. Enjoy a drink on bank holiday Monday in a traditional pub or eat local seafood on a Mediterranean-style terrace. Receive a hearty Cornish welcome by staying in an authentic B&B.
Touch down in Cardiff
Capital of Wales, Cardiff is a vibrant, versatile city that ingeniously blends the old with the new. Also called the City of Arcades, bank holiday shoppers will revel in its Victorian, Edwardian and modern-day indoor malls. Birthplace to Shirley Bassey, Cardiff is also home to the Welsh Rugby Union. Visit its iconic Principality Stadium or take a castle tour. Touch down this spring in a characteristic B&B for some scrummy Welsh hospitality.
