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.
The north coast is just 15 minutes drive away and the surrounding area offers surfing at Widemouth Bay and Crackington Haven, horse riding, 5 golf courses, and a host of attractions including NT properties, and the Tamar Otter Sanctuary. The Eden Project is 40 miles away.

Set in the heart of North Cornwall in 230 acres of rolling hills and woodland, the Bowood Park estate once formed part of a 13th century deer park owned by the Black Prince. A 18 hole undulating parkland course with USGA standard greens. Measuring 6,700 yards, it’s lined with Bluebell woods and streams. The signature hole is the 385 yard par four 12th. Known as the Azalea hole, it’s a challenging test that features an island green, reached by a covered wooden footbridge that’s reminiscent of New England.
