In all directions from Launceston there is scenery of outstanding natural beauty. To the north is the rugged Cornish coast famed for national trust cliff scenery and quaint former fishing villages, to the west the wild open spaces of Bodmin Moor ideal for walking and riding, to the east Dartmoor National park and running south from the town to Plymouth the hidden Tamar Valley steeped in 18th century mining history and known for salmon fishing.
The city of Exeter is some 42 miles providing inter-city rail link, M5 motorway link and international airport. The city of Plymouth is some 20 miles including the regions leading hospital at Derriford, an Intercity Rail Link and a Continental Ferry Port to Roscoff and Santander.
