Travel
on the Pullman carriages
of the famous Venice
Simplon Orient-Express
to Cornwall to discover
the romantic Lost
Gardens of Heligan
and visit the legendary
Eden Project while
staying at the historic
Greenbank Hotel,
Falmouth. 
You will depart
from London's Victoria
Station on Friday
11 April 09.45 hrs
(to be confirmed)
on this most stately
train. On board
you will enjoy a
luxurious journey
from London to Truro.
Brunch with Bellini
will be served on
departure and during
the journey you
will be served a
three course lunch
with champagne,
wine and coffee
before arriving
in Cornwall. You
will then be taken
by executive coach
to The Greenbank
Hotel, an 18th century
listed building
situated on a waterfront
position overlooking
Falmouth Harbour.
On Friday night
there will be a
welcome reception
and dinner in the
hotel.
Saturday morning
you will depart

the Eden Project.
This inspiring achievement
masterminded by
Tim Smit continues
to evolve and develop
as a stunning vision
and vast global
garden. Two giant
biomes cover an
area equivalent
to 12 football pitches
and the largest,
the humid tropics
biome, rises 180
feet and houses
trees and plants
from the Amazon
basin, Africa and
Malaysia including
rubber, coconuts
and rice and all
contained in what
was a discussed
china clay mine.
This is followed
by a visit to the
Lost Gardens of
Heligan, the neglected
and forgotten gardens
of the Tremayne
family, now restored
to their former
glory. Heligan is
an oasis of natural
beauty with its
wild and romantic
atmosphere with
the walled northern
gardens, the jungle
ravine with subtropical
plants collected
from all other the
world by the Victorian
planthunters and
the Lost Valley.
There are refreshment
facilities at both
the Eden Project
and Heligan where
