Directions by road
The nearest motorway is the M5. Take the Junction 31 exit and follow the A30 southbound towards Penzance. When you hit Penzance, take the B3315. After driving through a tunnel of trees, Lamorna will be signposted on the left (sneeze and you’ll miss it). Follow the road until you come to The Cove’s pale blue sign on the left.
