Travel directions

 BBBBB Below are the various ways that you can travel to our area

By Road, Air, Rail, Bus, Ferry, Taxi

By Rail:

 The nearest train station to our area is Bodmin Parkway which is approximately 15 miles away or about 35 minutes from Padstow by car. You will need to get the 555 western greyhound bus from the station to Wadebridge and Padstow.  If you are going to Rock, Polzeath, Trebetherick, Port Isaac etc you will need to change bus in Wadebridge to the western greyhound 584 bus. The journey to Padstow is about an hour and you need to check your timings.

By Road:

From the M5 south, turn onto the A30 just after Exeter.  There are several options from  the A30.  The most direct way is to come off at Bodmin (A389) and follow directions through Bodmin and Wadebridge to Padstow.  Just after  the village of  Whitecross  turn right through Little Petherick and St Issey (A389).  This section of road is narrow in places and is not recommended for wide vehicles.  To avoid this narrow road do not turn off after Whitecross and stay on  the A39 until Winnard’s Perch roundabout  then turn right towards Padstow.  Alternatively stay on the A30 until  the Indian Queens turning then follow the directions to Padstow (A39). 

If you are heading for Port Isaac, Rock, Trebetherick etc follow the directions above to Wadebridge. At the roundabout after Sladesbridge turn left towards Wadebridge town centre, then right at the next mini roundabout.  This takes you past the Wadebridge sports hall.  Alternatively you can come off the A30 earlier, just after Launceston, and follow the A39 through Camelford towards Wadebridge.
