Eating pasties, purchased in Hayle, at Lelant Station in 2007 was a very memorable day for Alan and me. And ~ I have taken the train from London to Penzance, and back several times. Why rent a car until you arrive in Cornwall? Ann Oh, and the branch line to St Ives, via Lelant and Carbis Bay has to be one of the most beautiful routes on earth (althouth I admit I'm biased, because Anna and I often sit at Lelant Station to eat our lunch and watch the birds on the estuary). And the wonderful thing is that if you come to Cornwall by rail, you can still come in all the way from London and finish up at the end of the country at Penzance, where the train has to stop or it would roll off into the ocean (via St Erth)!!! John.

Ann and List members: We always take the train down to Cornwall - a lovely ride with great scenery! Then we hop a bus over to Bodmin and rent a car when we need it. Makes a smaller hole in our travel budget doing it that way! We find the train goes just about everywhere we want to go, so don't have a car for very long - we take a car up to Devon - Tavistock and area - still almost in Cornwall! I agree with everyone so far. Sher At 06:09 PM 24/01/2013 -0800, you wrote: > > >Eating pasties, purchased in Hayle, at Lelant Station in 2007 was a very >memorable day for Alan and me.
