Michael reaches the pretty Cornish fishing village of St Mawes, today an exclusive holiday destination for connoisseurs of yachts, fine food and luxury hotels. Michael takes to the waves in a glorious classic wooden racing yacht.
At Coverack, Michael joins the team from the Cornish Seaweed Company on a harvesting mission. A ride on the footplate of the wonderful heritage Helston Railway delivers Michael to Truthall Halt, from which he tramps through the undergrowth to discover a fabulous granite viaduct ripe for restoration.
From Penzance, Michael heads for the rugged coastline at Porthcurno, where a spectacular amphitheatre has been built into the cliffs.
