Experience a town steeped in history, surrounded by rolling countryside, ideally situated to explore the beautiful Tamar Valley and North Cornwall with its dramatic coastline and fascinating heritage.
Launceston offers specialty shops selling locally produced foods through to unique and unusual gifts all situated within the towns narrow streets. The indoor Friday Markets' at St Mary's Hall and Central Methodist Church Hall both stock locally produced food, alongside an assortment of local crafts, gifts, and plants.
Follow the town trails, winding past St Mary's Church, famed for its extravagantly carved exterior, visit the award winning Lawrence House Museum sited in a fine example of Georgian architecture. Up to the castle keep where you can enjoy panoramic views stretching far beyond Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor or down to the steam railway and take a ride through the glorious Kensey Valley.
Alternatively sit on the castle green on a warm summer’s day and admire the intricate pattern of the townscape looking down to St. Thomas and Newport, across to St. Stephens and its church, set high on a hill. At the end of a leisurely walk why not stop at one of Launceston's many cafés, or for something more substantial there are restaurants serving a variety of cuisines during the day and the evening.
