Getting there
We tell you the best ways to get to Devon, by plane, train and automobile
- Planes
- Air Southwest flies to Plymouth from London Gatwick, Manchester, Leeds, Bristol and Jersey, for about £30 each way (www.airsouthwest.com).
- Trains
- There are regular trains from London Paddington to Exeter and Plymouth. The journey takes two or three hours.
- Automobiles
- The A303 will take you all the way from the London orbital to Exeter in under four hours (traffic permitting); Exeter is about four-hour drive southwest of London. The M5 connects Devon to the north via Bristol (90 minutes) and Birmingham (three hours). A car is invaluable once there, for pootling along the coast or cruising along the country lanes.
