Days Out By Bus
The Southwest is relatively well served by local transport, and a day out by bus, whether as the start of a coastal walk back to Port Isaac, or an old fashioned 'day trip' can be quite rewarding - especially if you are lucky enough to benefit from a 'Bus Pass'!
For example, the following round trip is popular with locals - correct as at January 2010, but always check the latest timetables at
