Launceston – Cornwall’s Historic Gateway

Steeped in history and brimming with character, Launceston is a town that proudly showcases its past while offering easy access to some of Cornwall and Devon’s most stunning landscapes.

Winding streets lead to an array of independent shops, traditional pubs, and cosy cafés, while the surrounding countryside offers scenic walking trails and rolling green landscapes. Positioned on the Cornwall-Devon border, Launceston is perfectly placed for exploring both counties, with the rugged beauty of Bodmin Moor to the west and the Tamar Valley’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the east. With excellent road links via the A30, this historic town provides a charming and well-connected base to enjoy the best of the South West.
