Tips

Before you set off

The A30 spine

Cornwall's main road is a short drive inland, running east to Exeter and west towards Penzance and Land's End.

Narrow lanes

Many lanes are single-track with high hedges. Use passing places and be ready to reverse - a smaller car helps.

Tamar Bridge

Leaving for Plymouth on the A38? The Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry charge a toll eastbound only.

Beach parking

Popular beach car parks fill early in summer. For St Ives, use the Park & Ride at Lelant Saltings.

Can I drop the car off at Exeter or Bristol?
