Welcome to Launceston

Launceston, just off the main A30 at the eastern end of Cornwall , is proud to be known as the "Gateway to Cornwall".

On the Devon and Cornwall border and between two Moors - Bodmin and Dartmoor, the town allows easy access to West Devon, the Tamar Valley and North and South Cornwall. Launceston is a traditional market town.

It is quintessentially Cornish, with its Georgian houses, intricately carved church, narrow streets and market square.Today it's a shoppers delight, with a range of shops and services equal to many bigger towns - yet Launceston still retains a traditional atmosphere.

A visit to Launceston and the surrounding area should be on the itinerary of every visitor to Cornwall .
