A school geography trip to Cornwall and the Eden Project will provide the opportunity to immerse students in a truly spectacular outdoor classroom.
Geography will be brought to life while students discover the breath-taking coastal landscapes of the region. They’ll investigate fascinating rock formations and river erosion sites as part of their fieldwork. And they’ll explore biodiversity, ecosystems and sustainability at the Eden Project.
Best of all, Cornwall offers the opportunity to get your students excited about the incredible geography they can enjoy here in the UK. And by staying in the UK and travelling by coach, you'll be reducing the carbon footprint of your trip!
