Road

Travel

Where the M5 motorway finishes, the A30 trunk road picks up.  Running the length of the county, travel by road to any part of Cornwall is not only easy, it’s incredibly beautiful as you wind your way across the rolling countryside to your destination.  The A39 links up the Northern most section of Cornwall too for ease. 

Strong Road Connections

Ferry

Travel

The international ferry port at Plymouth is right on Cornwall’s doorstep and opens up travel by sea from Europe.  There are several services available from mainland France and Spain and reports of a direct route from Portugal imminent.  Within Cornwall, numerous passenger ferries link up parts of the county and make for an enjoyable way of travelling around.
