RAIL
The main Plymouth - Penzance line provides regular services to Liskeard and
Saltash, with local services stopping at intermediate stations. The Looe branch line
service from Liskeard gives access to East Looe and the coast. The eastern edge of
the region is served by the Tamar Valley branch line running north from Plymouth to
Calstock and Gunnislake.Many of Cornwall's coastal towns are linked to the main rail line which runs through
Cornwall by smaller, scenic branch lines. As well as getting you from A to B these
provide a great way to see parts of the county without leaving your mark. Take a trip on the Looe Valley Line and explore the natural beauty of South East
Cornwall. The Looe Valley Line winds its way for just over 8 miles through unspoilt
countryside, hugging the steep sided valley of the East Looe River. | For National Rail Enquiries: call 08457 48 49 50 | www.nationalrail.co.uk | | Booking tickets by phone: call 08457 00 01 25 | www.carfreedaysout.com/looe.htm | | Approximate journey times by rail from: | | | Birmingham: 3 hours 45 minutes | Bristol: 2 hours 45 minutes | | Leeds: 5 hours 45 minutes | London 3 hours 15 minutes | | Manchester: 6 hours | Reading: 3 hours | | Southampton: 3 hours 45 minutes | |
