DIRECTIONS TO CWARY VEAN

Post code for Sat Nav: TR12 7HU NB: Sat Nav will only bring you to Laflouder lane (albeit with some unnecessary detours), you will still need these directions for the last .3 of a mile to Cwary Vean-Sat Nav will take you past Cwary Vean to the last house in the lane.

M5 TO EXETER then A30 to Okehampton, Launceston, Bodmin, Truro etc

Stay on A30 until the roundabout at Carland Cross (several large wind turbines), take A39 to Truro stay on A39 through Truro and follow signs for Falmouth and Helston leave A39 where it turns left at Ponsonooth roundabout (about 7 miles beyond Truro) and go straight on taking the A394 to Helston. Just before Helston and after hamlet** of Trewennack, at new roundabout take road to Culdrose and Lizard. Go straight over the next roundabout (Maytree and Premiere Inn). At next roundabout turn left onto A3083 and straight on at the next one (Sainsbury’s access) and straight on again at the next one (the start of the airfield with helicopter will now be on your left with the hospital on your right). After passing the end of Culdrose Airfield go straight over at the roundabout still on A3083.

100 yards or so after the roundabout turn right towards “Cury, Poldhu and Mullion golf club”; if you miss this turn you will go to Mullion via a longer route, but this way the Golf Club is 3 miles and Cwary Vean is 1.3 miles further from there.

After going through Cury and past the Golf club, Poldhu is the first beach you will see. At the top of the hill after the beach you will enter a 30 mph zone and see a ‘Mullion’ sign set in a garden wall on a fork. Follow the main road down the right fork for a few hundred yards to the bottom of the small hill, and then take the first right turn into Laflouder Lane (not Laflouder Fields, which is second turn!). Check your trip meter, as Cwary Vean is 3/10s of a mile from this turn off. Do not turn off this lane, even when it becomes narrower and unmade.

After several houses you will reach a point where the lane continues up to the right and a beach footpath goes down to the left, there is a large white square sign on the fork listing the houses, with Cwary Vean first.

Cwary Vean is 20 yards further up along the lane; the first house, after the footpath fork, it is on the left hand side. There is a fisherman’s yellow marker ball (small football size) on the telegraph pole opposite the entrance. The house name is written in granite to the right of the gate posts (there is also a house sign in the flowerbed), there is an advertisement board on the open gate. There is generally plenty of space to park and unload.

Your entrance on foot is through the garden gate to the left of the property; follow the gravel path round into the covered porch. If we are not here to greet you, the key will be in the door or the top drawer of the deep freezer in your porch. There is a parking plan in the cottage notes, to ensure easy access during your stay.

Have a safe journey!

A clear run from the Cornish/Devon border (Tamar Bridge on A30) to Cwary Vean is 90 mins
