Launceston, a hilly market town in North Cornwall was once the county town of Cornwall until 1838, and is still regarded as ‘the gateway to Cornwall’.
Reminders of its medieval history are everywhere, from the ramparts of the l2th-l3th century Launceston Castle—the onetime seat of William the Conqueror’s brother—to the relics of the 12th-century Augustinian priory.

Two bridges over the River Kensey, New Bridge and St. Leonard’s Bridge, date from the 16th century. Lawrence House, mid-Georgian, is a museum of local interest open on weekday afternoons.
Elegant Georgian houses still line the narrow thoroughfares and market square. Described by Betjeman as ‘the most interesting inland town in Cornwall’.
The A30 Trunk Road now sweeps past the town on its way west however a brief stop for refreshment and exploration is worthwhile

Attractions: Lawrence House Museum, Steam Railway. Hidden Valley, Trethorue Leisure Park, Leisure Centre.
