Route Planners
Launceston, the ancient capital of and acknowledged gateway to Cornwall sits astride the A30 one mile from the Devon/Cornwall border, in an area of considerable beauty and charm with easy access to both north and south coasts as well as to the cities of Exeter, Plymouth and Truro.
Dating back to Celtic times the whole of Launceston is steeped in history and is dominated by its castle built by Brian de Bretagne the first Norman Earl of Cornwall in the 11th century. Once the site of the Royal Mint and the only walled town in Cornwall the Launceston of today has much to offer and to reward both business and leisure interests.
Launceston is a busy market town with numerous shops and businesses located in and around the town square. The Old Butter Market is held in the square on the first Saturday of every month from April to October. The populaton is now approaching 8000 and many homes have recently been built with more in the pipeline. Sites and grants are available for commercial enterprises relocating to one or other of the towns' two industrial estates and bearing in mind Launceston's excellent road access and close proximity to airports at Exeter, Plymouth, and Newquay the surrounding beautiful moorland areas of Bodmin and Dartmoor and the nearness of beaches on both north and south coasts it would be difficult to find a more pleasant place in which to establish a business enterprise.
Local facilities include hotel and pubs, a sports centre, two 18 hole golf courses, 2 bowls clubs, football, rugby and cricket teams, salmon and trout fishing, squash, tennis, keep fit, etc. and there is a cottage hospital and medical centre to serve the local population.
