North Cornwall has always been a frontline. From the iron-age cliff castles of Tintagel to the hidden signals of the Cold War, this rugged coast holds the secrets of Britain's defense.
In partnership with Cornwall Discovery, we invite you to leave the car keys behind and step into a private, chauffeured world of military history. This is a full-day, deep-dive experience for history buffs and curious explorers alike.
Our journey spans centuries of conflict and courage:
The Age of Legends: Explore the "Cliff Castles" around Tintagel and visit Slaughterbridge, the site of King Arthur’s final, fateful battle.
Defending the Realm: Trace the influence of Sir Francis Drake at Bossiney and discover how Cornwall prepared for the Spanish Armada.
The Frontline of WWII: Spend time at the Cornwall at War Museum at Davidstow. Run by Steve and his dedicated team, this is arguably the finest collection in the South West.
Because this is a private tour, we can offer "off-menu" experiences that the general public rarely sees:
The Blackhouse: Gain exclusive access to the Airfield Communications Centre—a time capsule of wartime technology.
Cold War Secrets: Go underground with an optional visit to a decommissioned bunker, exploring the "Information Wars" that shaped our modern world.
Relax in a premium, climate-controlled vehicle while I provide the narrative. By partnering with Barry Pengelly at Cornwall Discovery, we ensure your day is seamless, luxurious, and completely stress-free.

"The day tour was seamless. Combining Bill’s storytelling with the comfort of a private vehicle made it the most relaxing and informative day of our entire trip. We saw parts of Cornwall we never would have found on our own." — Private Tour Guest
