A Cornish staycation can be made even more memorable when the magic of the small screen is paired with a guided tour of one of Cornwall’s most iconic harbours. An hour and a half is spent exploring the locations featured in the BBC’s hugely popular TV series Beyond Paradise.
A common question raised by fans of the show is worth addressing early on! Although Shipton Abbott is presented as a fictional Devon town, the real filming actually takes place in Looe on the south Cornwall coast.
Depending on the starting point of your holiday, reaching Looe may involve a little extra travel, but the journey is rewarded with a charming destination. A full day out can easily be created by adding a visit to Polperro. A nearby pedestrianised village known for its picturesque harbour, independent shops, and an atmosphere reminiscent of a pirate film—minus the pirates.
For those who haven’t yet watched Beyond Paradise, the experience becomes even more enjoyable. Few things compare to settling in after a day of sightseeing, switching on BBC iPlayer on your property’s Smart TV, and recognising the places you’ve just explored while enjoying your favourite evening tipple.
If you’re still reading then here are a few bits of information about the tour:
- £20 per head
- Meeting point at the Sardine Factory, Looe
- Small tours only meaning lots of interaction and opportunity to speak to the guide
- The tour is very popular and is expected the sell out for 2026
