Why groups love Cornwall

Ideal for school trips and educational residentials, you'll be spoilt for choice in coastal Cornwall. Visit the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the sun-kissed coastal town on St. Ives or stroll along the ruins of Tintagel Castle.

School groups can also visit the famous Eden Project biomes. For educational groups, the Eden Project provides a wealth of learning opportunities for everyone from pre-school to degree level and beyond – to connect people of all ages with the natural world and to better understand their place within it. Why not visit the UK's largest indoor rainforest?
