Driving to
Penzance is now an easy journey, with M5 Motorway or A303
to Exeter and A30 onward to Penzance. The A30 is now dual-carriageway
for most of its length from Exeter.
Approach Penzance on the A30 and, on reaching the roundabout
(traffic circle) at the end of the dual carriageway where
a 'Tesco' filling station is located on the right-hand side
of the road, take the first exit signed to 'Town Centre'.
On entering the town area about 600 yards later, the railway station
building is seen on the left-hand side of the road
followed by a set of traffic lights. Carnson House is 25 yards
before the traffic lights on the right-hand side of the road.
Car parking is available closeby.
