St Buryan - Transport

Transport

Being one of the most westerly parishes in England, St Buryan is somewhat isolated from the rest of the UK. The village of St Buryan is situated approximately five miles (eight km) west of Penzance along the B3283 which forks about five miles (8 km) from the end of the A30, the major trunk road that runs the length of Cornwall. Three further minor roads also meet at St Buryan, two link the village with the B3315 towards Lamorna, and the third rejoins the A30 at Crows-an-Wra. St. Buryan is served by four bus routes. Services 1 and 1A run between Penzance and Land's End via Gwavas, Sheffield, St Buryan and Sennen. The 300 service runs a circular route via St Ives, St Just, Sennen, St Buryan and Newlyn. These routes are run by First Devon & Cornwall, part of First Group. Western Greyhound service 501 runs on the same route as the 1/1A. Services run frequently from Penzance to the village until around 10 pm during the summer months, but markedly less often in the winter. Travel by rail is via the Great Western Main Line whose westernmost terminus is located at nearby Penzance. First Great Western provides local services to nearby St Ives via the St Ives Bay Line as well as direct connections linking Penzance with Plymouth, Bath, Bristol, Newport and Cardiff. Intercity services are provided both by First Great Western, connecting Penzance with London Paddington, and CrossCountry who run services to Manchester via the West Coast Main Line and also direct services to Edinburgh Waverley and Glasgow Central via Birmingham, Sheffield, York, Leeds and Newcastle upon Tyne. St Buryan's closest airports are Land's End Aerodrome, with flights to the Isles of Scilly; and Newquay which carries flights to Gatwick and Stansted.
