Directions by road
It’s a long drive to Cornwall, and during the summer the roads can get very congested, so allow plenty of time. Take the M5 to Exeter and then the A30 to Launceston; follow the A395 and A39 south towards Wadebridge before turning north towards St Minver and Polzeath. Mesmear is one mile north east of Polzeath on the coastal road.
