How to get there
Major improvements to the M5 motorway and the A30 expressway have made the car journey even easier with Bristol being a 2 hour drive, the West Midlands 3 hours and London and the South East 3.5 hours. Recent improvements to the main railway line into Cornwall have also shortened journey times and frequent, fast express services to Truro are operated by First Great Western and Virgin Trains. You can rent a car at Truro station (14 miles) or change at Truro onto the ‘Maritime Line’ branch train for the short journey to our local station at Penmere (4 miles) and rent a car from there. The Newquay South West Regional International Airport (26 miles) has enjoyed rapid growth and now features 6 airlines serving over a dozen destinations including London (Gatwick), London (Stansted), London (Luton), Manchester, Leeds/Bradford, Edinburgh and Dublin. Private flights may use Newquay International Airport or, by arrangement with the Royal Navy, the Culdrose Air Station (8 miles).
