Immersive Poldark tours in Cornwall
Since before the Poldark saga revisited our screens, Poldark’s Cornwall has been dedicated to showing you the best of Poldark’s authentic home on the rugged north Cornish coast – where Poldark author Winston Graham actually lived and wrote – as well as throughout the ancient Duchy of Cornwall and beyond.
We show you the very lane where Demelza picked blackberries with her children.
We offer you exclusive access to the private house used to depict Ross’s family home of Nampara.
We take you to every romantic and dramatic location that Cornwall has offered for the current and past screen adaptations.
Introducing Karen Colam
– Poldark Expert Tour Guide –
Karen is not known as “Mrs Poldark” for nothing. Her home overlooks Nampara and she walks on Hendrawna Beach daily with her dogs (neither is called Garrick).
Evidence of the huge mining complex that was Wheal Leisure can be found throughout her home village of Perranporth; the “Sawle” of Graham’s novels and indeed one chimney still stands.
She lives in an old mine captain’s house which was, like Nampara, also a farmhouse and would have been overlooked by a mine where Winston sited his “Wheal Grace”.
Fabulous Accommodation
– The Bolenna, Perranporth –
Why not indulge in a stay at The Bolenna whilst on your Poldark’s Cornwall tour?
