Launceston is an ancient town steeped in history with the imposing Launceston castle overlooking the town and surrounding area. Referred to as “the gateway to Cornwall” Launceston is centred one mile (1.6 km) west of the River Tamar, which constitutes almost the entire border between the Cornish peninsular and Devon, the A30 is ideally located on the fringe of Launceston connecting to the rest of Cornwall with great access to the beautiful Coastline whilst also providing great access to Plymouth and Exeter and beyond. The town itself offers a variety of individual businesses from boutiques to fine food shops, blending with occasional national outlets including Tesco’s, WH Smith and Costa’s coffee. Local facilities include a leisure centre, medical facilities and well regarded primary and secondary schooling.

Did you know? The very impressive Launceston Castle dates from Norman times. Before the 13th century AD Launceston used to be the capital of the Earldom of Cornwall. Launceston has given its name to other places in the world including Australia. The Cornish name is Lannstefan and Lannstefan is Cornish for Church of St Stephen.
