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 found 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

Local travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Penryn and Falmouth are linked by a regular train and bus service with a short walk up hill to campus, or ~15 min bus trip direct to campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The train takes 7 minutes with a short walk up a hill to the Penryn campus. The bus takes ~15 minutes directly to the campus. You can catch the numbers 3, 32A (not<\/span> the 32B), 33, or 33A, which all run regular services from early in the morning to late at night. Note: it is also possible to catch the 69A, but this bus takes the scenic route through the neighbourhoods and we wouldn’t recommend it.<\/em> You can use contactless cards to pay as you board. You can find more information and timetables on the Transport for Cornwall website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beryl e-bike hire scheme<\/a> is also available and it is a 25-minute cycle between Falmouth and Penryn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We encourage the use of public transport where possible, but there are also local taxi services available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
