Alternatively, have lunch ashore and continue to Plas Cadnant, a hidden historic garden, which is slowly being uncovered. Three different gardens have been discovered, including an unusual walled garden with curving walls and a pool, a secret valley garden with three waterfalls and a river, and an upper woodland garden with stone outcrops and the remains of a 19th century folly. Work started on restoring the gardens and grounds in 1997, which was a huge undertaking as large areas had not been maintained for more than 70 years. Since then large parts of the gardens have undergone a spectacular transformation and have been restored to their former glory.Day 7 Lundy Island, England. After a morning at sea we arrive on Lundy, a remote island in the Bristol Channel. Although small, just three miles long by half a mile wide, its isolation has made it a home for a range of wildlife whilst there is also a clutch of listed buildings and monuments. The towering cliffs and rocky shoreline are a haven for migrating seabirds and Sika deer, red deer and Soay sheep can also be seen as we walk along its traffic-free lanes and paths. Spend the afternoon being as active as you wish, perhaps explore the wide bays and coves by way of hanging valleys, see ancient burial chambers, climb the lighthouse or buy the island%u2019s %u2018puffin stamps%u2019 at the shop. If conditions permit we may also be able to use our Zodiacs to cruise around the coastline.Day 8 Tresco & St Martin%u2019s, Isles of Scilly. Arrive this morning in the Isles of Scilly, an archipelago of five inhabited islands and up to one hundred and forty uninhabited islets, located 30 miles off the coast of Cornwall. From our central anchorage, we will use our Zodiacs to visit traffic-free Tresco, walking its idyllic lanes from the beach to the famous subtropical Abbey Gardens. Defying the Atlantic weather, this miracle of a garden is home to more than 20,000 species of plants from over 80 countries. Enjoy time to wander at your own pace along the paths, perhaps visit the Valhalla collection of ship figureheads from ships wrecked on the islands or relax in the caf%u00e9. We also plan to use local tenders to visit the northernmost island of the group, St Martin%u2019s, a small island community of just 120 residents. Enjoy time to explore independently, climb to one of the viewpoints for vistas over the islands and the offshore seal colonies or perhaps visit the vineyard.Day 9 Guernsey & Sark, Channel Islands. Arriving in the Channel Islands we explore Guernsey on a panoramic drive, taking in the beautiful coastline and beaches and visiting the Little Chapel, built in 1914 as a miniature version of the famous basilica at Lourdes and covered in fragments of shattered china. Alternatively spend a leisurely morning wandering through the charming town of St Peter Port. In the afternoon we use our Zodiacs to land on the peaceful traffic-free island of Sark. We can wander the narrow lanes alive with the songs of chaffinches, skylarks and mistle thrush as we see the narrow isthmus which joins Little Sark and Big Sark and the enchanting gardens at La Seigneurie.Day 10 Cowes, Isle of Wight. Renowned as the sailing capital of the UK, Cowes is our gateway to the Isle of Wight where we have a choice of options this morning. You may wish to explore Osborne House, the holiday home of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Built between 1845 and 1851, it brought the Italianate style of architecture to the island. In the house we can see sumptuous state rooms, ornate architecture and a fine art collection whilst outside we can enjoy the walled garden, the woodland walk, the private beach or take in the views over the Solent from the garden terraces. Alternatively, drive across the island to the Mottistone Gardens and Estate, located in an area of outstanding natural beauty. We can see the organic kitchen garden and walk through the orchard and garden terraces taking in the sea views. For those keen to take a walk you may wish to visit the nearby Long Stone, a sandstone pillar which retains a mystical history. The afternoon is free to explore Cowes at your own pace as we anchor overnight.Day 11 Portsmouth. Disembark this morning. Transfers will be provided to Portsmouth Harbour Railway Station at a fixed time.Exploring by Zodiac Osborne House
