Cornwall, United Kingdom

Getting there

• Planes Newquay International, Cornwall’s main airport, operates regular flights from Stansted with Ryanair, Gatwick with British Airways and Manchester with BMI Baby. Cornwall also has its own airline, Air Southwest, which flies from Bristol, Manchester and Dublin, among others, from around £35 each way (www.newquay-airport.co.uk). Trevenna will collect you from Newquay for a £26; Plymouth £26; Exeter £66.
• Trains There are regular, direct trains from London Paddington to the South West, taking between four and five hours, with Virgin (www.virgintrains.co.uk) or First Great Western (www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk). The latter also offers the very civilised Night Riviera Sleeper to Penzance, departing London shortly before midnight and arriving at around 8am; to book tickets, ring 0845 700 0125.
• Local taxi service Trevenna’s Caravelle is on-hand for most of your transit needs. For car hire, click on our Travel Offers page. Smithcard holders get a 10 per cent discount with Hertz.
• Automobiles From London, head towards Exeter then take the A30 into Cornwall (not the A38, which would take you via Plymouth). The landmark to look for on the A30 is the Jamaica Inn (about 10 miles before Bodmin). Stay on the A30 and drive past the Jamaica Inn junction for another two miles. Look for the Colliford Lake junction and turn left off the A30. Follow this road past Colliford Lake, and over six cattle grids – Trevenna is then the second farm turning. Drive down the lane and park by the barns.
