• Settle to Falmouth..road or plane? 22 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  The easiest option is to fly to either Newquay or Plymouth, but the flight costs for 3 people is pretty expensive, plus airport parking and car hire at the other end. I have been offered use of a car...my 10 year old VW Transporter and 12 year old Defender are not conducive to a long distance relaxed journey. Any suggestions as to the best route and approximate travelling time( by car)..my cargo is two elderly relatives!
