Are you planning a road trip around the beautiful English county of Cornwall? Use our Cornwall road trip itinerary with destination information, travel tips and more to help plan your own perfect trip
There is so much to see and do in Cornwall it really is essential to plan your Cornwall road trip itinerary carefully if you want to include your ‘must-see’ places.
Booking tickets, checking tides and making reservations at accommodation plus taking into consideration travel times, where to park and what to pack are just some of the considerations when planning a Cornwall road trip.
This article is a summary of our Cornwall road trip itinerary from summer 2022 (with around 16 hours of daylight*) As you follow through with our itinerary you will notice that we have added a couple of options to help you choose your own must-see places.
We have also included an approx idea of the time and distance between places we drove to and also a link to the Automobile Association map of the drive with an approximate time to allow for your journey. (Times do not include additional times for stopping off along the route)
*During winter months travel daylight hours are reduced to approximately 8 hours.
Note – We actually started and ended our road trip around Cornwall in the neighbouring county of Devon as Doug wanted to ride on the Dartmoor train line from Crediton to Okehampton. This line reopened after being closed for 50 years. Also on our penultimate day, we returned again to South Devon to ride on the Dartmouth Steam Railway.
