The rule of new excursions!

One of our unwritten rules of summer school is that every year we must go on at least one new excursion.

There’s nothing like discovering the joy of a new place with students.

This year it was St Mawes Castle 🏰

After years of going to Pendennis Castle and feeling a little underwhelmed - unless it’s one of their summer jousting days which are great fun! - St Mawes castle has never really held much interest.

That is until this year when a family group expressed an interest in visiting the castle. It was the perfect chance to see what actually lay over the bridge that I have so often walked past…

What a brilliant surprise! On arrival, we were greeted with some mead tasting followed by a magical little castle with impressive views, spectacular gardens and fascinating rooms where you could feel exactly what castle life would face been like.

What a perfect way to finish the endless summer of 2026.

Who would like to discover somewhere new with us in 2027?.

🌸We’ve discovered a new tour 🌺

What a magical week we have had exploring Cornwall’s beautiful spring gardens.

Each day included a combination of garden, walk, expert tour & pub supper.

We were blessed with the weather and the garden blooms were out of this world.

Our student group from Italy & Sweden were so knowledgeable about plants and it was a pleasure to learn so much from them.

This was our itinerary:

- Monday: Lanhydrock - walking up to the gardens from the train station just like the family would’ve done in the old days. Time to explore the gardens & house followed by a walk down to Lostwithiel for dinner at The Globe.

- Tuesday: Trelissick - guided tour from assistant head gardener Walla followed by cream tea in the house and a river cruise to Malpas. Bit of time to explore Truro before supper in the Thomas Daniell.

- Wednesday: Tim Smit day - Eden & Heligan looking glorious. Lovely chats with the gardeners and then following the old footpath down to Mevagissey for a fish supper at The Fountain.

- Thursday: Up the Helford - starting at Mawnan church & following the estuary up to Durgan and then up through Glendurgan. Lunch at Trebah and down to the beach. Hiding from showers under the giant Gunnera. Delicious supper at the Ferryboat Inn.

- Friday: St Michael’s Mount - such a different garden with succulents clinging to the cliff edge. Up to the castle for views across the bay. Then over to Mousehole for a final supper at The Ship Inn.

Thank you so much to everyone who welcomed us this week 🙏

…

Time to get ready for the summer now, but we can’t wait to do this tour again in 2027 - would you like to join us?

Choose from host family or hotel accommodation.

Come join us for a small group adventure next spring.

It’s the weekend!

Time for our full-day excursions 🎉

After a great week of English classes each morning and fun excursions in the afternoons, Saturdays and Sundays are all about relaxing and enjoying a full day of adventure.

This is St Ives, one of our favourite towns in Cornwall.

There’s something for everyone here: watersports, beaches, art galleries, a beautiful town and four magical beaches.

It’s the perfect place to hang out and enjoy a full day of art, culture and adventure.

It’s Friday night! And we’re off to do something super special 🎉

At the very end of the south-western tip of the British Isles, with nothing between us but 4000 miles of ocean all the way to North America.

There is a magical theatre carved into the cliff 🤩

Watching a show at The Minack is like nothing else on earth 🌎

Let’s stay up late, walk the coast path, have a picnic on the beach and watch a theatre show under the stars. ✨

Historic houses, sub-tropical gardens, spectacular walks on the South West Coast Path - which would you choose?

Imagine if you could do all three?! 🤩

Spend a week or two with Language Tree and we’ll make sure you’ve had the opportunity to soak up all these beautiful places.

On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays you can choose between watersports or the peace and tranquility of Cornwall’s magical landscapes.

Our experienced, local guides will take you off the beaten track for some special Language Tree adventures.

I know it’s Monday, but let’s imagine it’s Monday the something of July… or maybe August 🌞

We’re off to St Michael’s Mount 🏰

Home to the legend of Cormoran the Giant and an 11th century monastery.

Twice a day the tide comes in and out of the bay.

But somehow we’ll find our way across to the island either on foot or by boat.

As we wander up the hill, we’ll look for the giant’s heart.

And soak up stories from the wonderful National Trust volunteers.

Perhaps an ice-cream in the gardens, a picnic on the lawn and even some time on the beach to just watch the world go by.
