Travel to Penryn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cornwall campus of the University of Exeter<\/a> is located just outside Penryn, close to Falmouth. A travel guide can be\u00a0found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We encourage travel by rail. You can get the train (including the sleeper service from London Paddington \u2013 we would recommend booking a single cabin) to Penryn (change in Truro). Alternatively, there are flights to Newquay airport where you can then get a taxi<\/a> to Penryn. There is also an airport in Exeter, from where busses and trains can take you to Penryn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
