Launceston, on the Cornwall / Devon border enjoys a good balance of travel distance to all parts of the two Counties by virtue of the nearby A30 dual carriageway spine road.   Eastwards (42 miles) is the city of Exeter providing intercity rail link, international airport and M5 motorway link.   Southwards (28 miles) is the city of Plymouth providing continental ferry port and intercity rail link.  

In all directions from Launceston there is scenery of outstanding natural beauty, be it the rugged coastline famed for popular family surfing beaches and picturesque former fishing villages to the north, or to the west the open expanses of Bodmin Moor ideal for walking and riding. To the east is Dartmoor National Park and running southwards is the hidden secrets of the Tamar Valley steeped in 18th Century mining history.
