© Situated a stone's throw from the larger town of Penzance, Newlyn is home to one of the largest fishing fleets in the United Kingdom, with over 40 acres of harbour. The industry is one of the most important in the county, contributing millions of pounds to the Cornish economy each year. All sorts of fishing vessels can be seen in the harbour - beam trawlers, long liners, crabbers and even small open boats used for hand-lining for mackerel in the Bay. Fun fact; the port was sacked and torched by a Spanish raiding party in the 16th century, then rebuilt. Today, very little of old Newlyn remains. Many of the white painted or stone faced granite cottages, separated by steep, narrow alleys, were only saved from demolition be the outbreak of the Second World War. The medieval harbour walls are dwarfed by the hundred year old walls of the North and South Piers.

Amazing ride with stunning scenery!

Fantastic bus ride through stunning scenery! A great treat after walking a portion of the SW Coast Path. I cannot recommend this route enough for the views alone, and even better it is included in the Cornwall day pass (just £5 for unlimited bus travel throughout Cornwall for a day). This is an amazing route!

Weather bad, trip great

We caught the 10.30 from Penzance and stayed on for the round trip. Driver, views and everything was great. An added bonus was we could use our freedom passes. Thank you

Great views from the top deck

I used this bus to walk sections of the coast path last year. It was brilliant and with a day rover ticket I could catch other buses, on a range of routes, back to St Ives or Penzance. I managed to walk all the way from Hayle to St Michael’s Mount this way (over a few months). Then back across country, St Michaels Mount to Lelant on the St Michaels Way.

Great for walking the coast path

I’ve used the Atlantic Coaster several times whilst walking on the South West coast path. Its fantastic for enabling linear walks back to your car. The route through small villages and past little coves is an absolute delight on a sunny day.

Falmouth Moor

Journey fact:

In 1805 news of Britain's victory and Admiral Nelson's death at Trafalgar was landed in Falmouth from the schooner Pickle and taken to London by stagecoach.

Journey Overview

The Falmouth Coaster is an open-top bus service around the sights of Falmouth in Cornwall, England. The bus provides a unique and scenic way to explore the town and its surrounding areas, allowing folk to enjoy the fresh sea air and stunning scenery as they travel.

As the bus travels through Falmouth, passengers will be able to admire the town’s bustling harbour and its many boats and ships. The town is a hub of maritime activity, with a rich history of trade and exploration, and the Falmouth Coaster provides a great opportunity to learn more about this fascinating part of England’s heritage.

The bus also takes in some of Falmouth’s most beautiful beaches, such as Gyllyngvase Beach and Swanpool Beach . These popular beaches are known for their soft golden sand and crystal-clear waters, and are perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and simply relaxing.

As the Coaster travels out of Falmouth, customers can enjoy views of the rolling hills and countryside that surround the town. You’ll see fields dotted with sheep and cattle, quaint villages, and historic farmhouses, all adding to the idyllic charm of the area.

One of the highlights is Pendennis Point , a headland that juts out into the sea, offering breathtaking views of the coast and the English Channel. The area is a popular spot for walking and picnicking, and is a great place to take in the natural beauty of the region.

Finally, the bus stops at Pendennis Castle , a 16th-century castle that sits atop a hill overlooking the town and the sea. The castle is open to visitors, and provides a fascinating insight into the history of Falmouth and its role as a major port town.

A Fab Day Out!

The National Maritime Museum in Falmouth is a popular destination for visitors to the town. The museum showcases the rich maritime heritage of Cornwall and the surrounding area, with exhibits ranging from historic ships and boats to paintings and maps depicting life at sea.

Pendennis Castle is another must-see attraction in Falmouth. The castle, which dates back to the 16th century, sits atop a hill overlooking the town and the sea, and provides visitors with stunning views of the surrounding area. The castle is open to visitors from Spring and is a great place to learn about the history of Falmouth and its role as a major port town.

Pendennis Point is a headland that juts out into the sea, offering visitors sweeping views of the coast and the English Channel. The area is a popular spot for walking and picnicking, and is a great place to take in the fresh sea air and enjoy the natural beauty of the region.

Gyllngvase Beach and Swanpool Beach are two of Falmouth’s most popular beaches, offering visitors the chance to relax in the sun, swim in the sea, and enjoy the local scenery. Both beaches are within easy reach of the town and provide the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Kimberley Park is a beautiful park located in the heart of Falmouth. The park offers visitors the chance to take a stroll, picnic, or simply relax in the shade of its many trees. In the summer of 2022, the park will be a popular destination for locals and visitors alike, offering a peaceful haven in the heart of the town.

The fabulous open top bus journey from st ives to land's end, the open top bus from st ives to land's end.

The bright bus called the Land's End Coaster goes from St Ives to Land's End, all along the coast. The upper deck has an open top and it is perfect for taking in the truly amazing scenery along the way. If you are in the area of St Ives you really can't fail to miss it as it pootles along the coast roads.

It is a beautiful trip to take on a sunny day but do be aware of rain squalls and sunburn in the same trip!!!

The journey takes about 1.25 hours to get from St Ives to Land's End, but with a day ticket you can get on and off at your leisure. I highly recommend stopping off at Zennor, Sennen and Porthcurno and making the trip into an all day thing. No need to worry about traffic and parking.

Just a word of caution, in the height of Summer the bus does often get snarled in the little roads, especially around Porthcurno. Patience is needed and a good sense of humour (and that goes for the car drivers too!). The journey may take longer than you think it will!

The open top bus stops at...

The Malakoff St Ives Trevalgan Zennor Gurnards Head Morvah Pendeen Geevor Tin Mine Carnyorth Botallack St Just Land's End Airport Sennen Cove Sennen Land's End

It then goes on to Porthcurno Newlyn Bridge Penzance Bus Station

Buses depart from Penzance back to St Ives via Land's End every hour from 8:45am to 17:45pm.

Buses depart from Land's End back to St Ives (same bus) every hour from 8:40am to 18:40pm. The last bus gets back into St Ives at about 8pm.

From what I can gather dogs are allowed on the bus.

How Much Is The Open Top Bus?

The open top ticket prices for 2022 have really come down. It now costs £10 for a family day ticket and £5 per adult, £4 for children for an all day pass. You can use your bus passes on here too. This makes a HUGE difference to the cost - last year to take a family of 4 is was nearly £50!

More info > >

Please do note that this is a personal blog post written by myself. I don't work for the bus company or regularly follow changes in time tables or costs. For that information you would need to contact the bus company First Group directly.

I also don't drive the bus myself - last year I got a very rude email berrating my bus driving and threatening to report me to the bus police. The man's bus had got snarled in traffic around Porthcurno and he seemed to think it was my fault. Fortunately I have a sense of humour and took his choice language with a pinch of salt.

Penzance, Via Land's End, to St Ives Tour

Price: £375 for 1-4 passengers, or £425 for 5-8 passengers.

These are private tours with your own guide and transport, and we can carry up to 8 passengers. Entrance fees are not included so you’ll need to pay them as we go. You’ll also need a little money for food and drink.

FULL DAY TOUR

We start the day overlooking the spectacular St Michaels Mount, the home of the St Aubyn family for nearly 400 years. Originally a 12th century Monastery and now part owned by the National Trust, the tide creeps in twice a day covering the causeway, and making the Mount into an Island….a must stop for photos, and your guide will fill you in on the history and legends surrounding this iconic landmark.

We then take a drive through Penzance, showing you the town centre and the historic Chapel street, before heading through Newlyn with its colourful fishing harbour and onto our next stop, Mousehole. (pronounced Mouzel.)

We’ll park up and take a walk around this picturesque 13th century granite village, nestled around its harbour. You’ll be told the story of the Mousehole Cat and there’s an option to visit the Ark, to see talented local craftsman Paul producing his fabulous Cornish Pewter Jewellery and Ornaments.

On from Mousehole we take the tiny road down to Lamorna Cove, the once busy Granite Port, to enjoy the view over turquoise water and granite cliffs, with the option to sample a Cream tea or morning Coffee and cake from the cafe.

Just up the road we stop to enjoy a wander around the Neolithic stone circle called the Merry Maidens while your guides explains the history and legends behind them, then onto Penberth Cove!

Arguably the prettiest cove in Cornwall if not Britain, this unspoilt cobbled harbour is the backdrop for the fishing village in the recent Poldark TV series, and is an artist and photographers delight.

We visit Porthcurno next, past the Telegraphy Museum, and the stunning beach, your guide will tell you all about the cables laid across the world from this tiny cove back in the 1860’s and how they transformed modern communication.

Just above the beach is the remarkable Minack theatre, carved out the cliffs by Rowena Cade and her Gardener, it looks like a Roman Amphitheatre, but was the the life work of this amazing lady started in the 1930’s, and still evolving today. (there is a small entrance fee of £5 per person for the theatre.)

Just a short drive West is the famous most Westerly point in England, Lands End. After a stunning view over the Atlantic Ocean and the Longships Lighthouse we head up the Atlantic coast, into the iconic Tin mining district, through St Just and out to Cape Cornwall.

This blustery headland, once a busy Tin Mining area, and boasting a 6th century Oratory chapel, has some amazing views and dramatic seascapes. We’ll also visit the Tin mines at Botallack, famed for their position at the edge of the Ocean, your guide will walk you around the site and explain some of the history of the mines and the lifestyle of the Cornish miner.

Our last stop of the day will be St Ives. With its historic Harbour, white sands, fisherman’s cottages, and galleries galore, this once Artist Colony is a great way to end the day with a wander and a creamy Cornish ice cream.

W hether you’re a Cornish local through and through, or a visitor to our shining shores, we can all agree that this beautiful county has plenty to offer when it comes to coastal adventures, so much so that it can be difficult to decide where to go.

However, if you’re looking to make the most of the day, one way to take in the stunning scenery and fun local attractions is by open-top bus! There is no better way to get around Cornwall and soak up the sights than on an Adventures by Bus ‘open topper’ as they wind their way around popular destinations such as Land’s End, Sennen, St Ives, Newquay, Falmouth, Padstow and more.

At incredible value, you can hop on and hop off at your convenience as you visit all the attractions along the way.

Adventures By Bus in Cornwall

Wednesday 26th May 2021

Following my hugely enjoyable ride across Dartmoor on the Dartmoor Explorer last Tuesday I made a return visit to the South West over the last couple of days to take a look at the many new bus routes aimed at the leisure market First Kernow are now running in Cornwall.

There are four groups of routes to explore.

Firstly the long established circular route in both directions based on Penzance via Lands End around the coast to St Ives and back to Penzance operated by open-top buses. This has been branded ‘Atlantic Coaster’ in recent years but is now called the ‘Lands End Coaster’.

As I’ve taken this route a few times over the last few years so gave it a miss this time but it’s well worth a ride and I’d recommend planning for at least one break along the way to switch to a bus behind otherwise it’s a long haul at 3 hours 50 minutes to do in one go.

The route’s hourly frequency is a great help in planning out a five or six hour day with St Ives definitely worth a stop off for at least an hour. It’s a lovely spot compared to Lands End which although iconic is far too commercialised as a destination. Other great stop off spots include Porthcurno, Sennen Cove or Carbis Bay – although the latter is well worth giving a wide berth in the middle of next month, unless you like G7 Conference security. Extensive road closures in that area will ensure you have to give it a wide berth; expect significant disruption to bus routes.

All these attractions are described in a colourful brochure currently available on First’s new “Adventures By Bus” website and hopefully soon in print.

The second route network is the one I tried out yesterday and which First Kernow are calling “The Lizard”. Because it serves the Lizard peninsula. First Kernow have reintroduced their route L1 which they’d branded with Lizard imagery on smart single deck Optare Solo SR buses back in 2019 running between Redruth, Helston and Lizard Point.

First lost that route in March 2020 as part of the tendered route shake up to the new Transport for Cornwall consortium. It’s now operated by Go-Ahead using its original route number 34 on an hourly frequency.

First Kernow’s latest 2021 version of route L1 runs between Helston and Lizard Point and will use open-top buses in another attractive Best Impressions designed livery, but these buses are only now being made ready for service so closed top double deckers have been pressed into service since the route began on 16th May.

Bearing in mind the wet weather in recent weeks that’s probably just as well. indeed it was raining for much of my travels yesterday too.

Route L1 runs hourly with the first bus from Helston at 09:30 and an hour’s gap mid afternoon as both buses operating the route, like a number of these new initiatives introduced by First Kernow, are used on college contracts at peak times. I’m wondering what the students will make of their college bus being open top, especially when it rains!

Three further routes feed into the Lizard network, two of which similarly run hourly beginning at 09:30 with a mid afternoon gap in the timetable. Route L3 operates from Truro and route L5 from St Ives both connecting with the L1 in Helston.

The established route U4 which links Penzance with Falmouth via Helston has been brought into the network with good connections into the Lizard network at Helston.

I took a ride on the L3 from Truro, connected with the L1 at Helston and continued down to the Lizard and back and completed the network by taking the L5 from Helston over to St Ives. It took just under four hours to do the four journey itinerary but would be longer if I’d broken my journey at Lizard Point or Helston.

The connections worked well, especially heading towards Lizard as the route taken by buses around Helston gives the opportunity for a leisurely 24 minute gap at the large Tesco (toilet facilities available) although this is not clear from the Lizard brochure – another really attractive design full of great information and colourful maps, but only with a brief timetable for each route.

Some connections though are just 5 or 10 minutes which might be challenging when Cornwall’s notorious summer traffic congestion inevitably returns.

I was a bit worried yesterday morning when we got stuck in Lizard due to a badly parked ambulance. Luckily the 14 minute layover at Lizard Green came to the rescue and got us back on time.

Route L1 competes directly with Transport for Cornwall’s route 34. Both operate hourly between Helston and Lizard. Both double run to serve the village of Kuggar although route L1 only does so in the southbound direction towards Lizard.

Leaving Helston route L1 departs Sainsbury’s bound for Lizard at 41 minutes past each hour, while route 34 leaves st 49 minutes past the hour. Due to different routes taken in Helston this situation is reversed from the Tesco bus stop with the 34 st 30 minutes past the hour and the L1 at 35 minutes past.

I wonder what locals make of all this. Passenger numbers were thin on the ground. Most journeys had just ones and twos on board. Not surprising perhaps with the weather being so wet and the holiday season not in full flow yet. I know from my previous visits the route down to the Lizard can get very busy and if the weather is good I can see First Kernow’s network proving very popular with tourists attracted to the open-tops while leaving Transport for Cornwall to cater for residents.

The hourly Truro route L3 duplicates some of Transport for Cornwall’s two-hourly route 36 but I noticed a half a dozen passengers forsaking the latter for the former heading back from Helston’s Tesco towards Truro yesterday morning no doubt attracted by the more direct route and shorter journey time. The outward southbound journey at 09:30 from Truro had only attracted one other passenger besides myself though.

Route L5 is a completely new initiative linking Helston with St Ives via Hayle for the first time. It’ll provide a great day out opportunity for tourists at both ends of the connection via Helston – St Ives and Lizard and could prove popular.

Both routes L3 and L5 (as well as the U4) are closed top double deck operated.

When planning my latest Cornish jaunt I’d looked at taking a ride on the third new initiative – the (still branded) Atlantic Coaster open-top route from Padstow to Newquay and newly extended through to St Ives on a more regular basis than has applied in recent years. Only four/five journeys a day run west of Newquay to St Ives.

It’s another 3 hours 40 minutes marathon ride, and I was a bit worried about only having a 10 minute connection for the St Ives departure at 13:25 with my L5 only arriving at 13:15 and anticipating the need for a comfort stop. My plan B was to get off the L5 on the road into St Ives and cross over for the Atlantic Coaster which takes the same route outbound via Carbis Bay.

In the event I made it all the way to St Ives but decided against an Atlantic Coaster trip this time as although the bus was closed top which would have meant a nice shelter from the rain, I also saw quite a few passengers boarding which would inevitably lead to steamed up windows, which for me is hugely frustrating when passing through such lovely scenery.

It was good to see passengers on board / no doubt thinking a bus ride being a great alternative to sitting on the beach in the rain.

St Ives Malakoff bus station has been given a makeover and now only serves as a supervised point for turning buses round. Buses now layover and depart from the bus stop on the adjacent road called The Terrace which makes for interesting traffic queues as St Ives regularly blocks up.

I headed down to the station and took the train via St Erth to Truro for my Plan B ‘Adventure By Bus’ which involved a ride to Bodmin on the hourly route 89 which I’ve dubbed the ‘Loneliest Bus Route in Britain’ for want of so few passengers ever spotted travelling on it.

I caught the 14:55 departure which continues on arrival in Bodmin to Callywith College to pick up students returning home.

One other passenger boarded in Truro bus station alighting in Tresillian, ten minutes away which is also served by three other Transport for Cornwall routes and one First Kernow. It was just me on board for the next the 65 minutes journey to Bodmin.

It’s a lovely route but the problem is it looks good on a map linking Truro direct with Bodmin (First Kernow’s route 27 goes via St Austell and takes much longer) but it doesn’t serve anywhere populous enough with unique journey options. And despite an inconveniently located Parkway station at Bodmin, the train is a quicker alternative.

i saw another empty bus leaving Bodmin this morning and the driver said few people do travel on it but he thought it was picking up a bit now.

After yesterday’s Adventures my aim this morning was to take a look at the extensive Daytripper network First Kernow has introduced under its “Adventures By Bus” branding.

This sees at least eight buses committed on peak hour college contracts utilised in between the peaks on a network of out and back routes connecting the main places tourists stay with the most popular visitor attractions.

All the buses rendezvous at 10:30 at the Eden Project where there’s a large bus station and on the outward trip passengers swap between buses with the same again at 14:30 on the homeward journey changing back on to the bus taking them to their original boarding point.

It’s a kind of Cheltenham Interchange arrangement for those with long memories of coach travel in the 1970s and earlier.

The bus stop departure information is to First’s traditional style which perhaps is not the most appropriate for this type of novel operation.

One slight worry must be if one attraction is proportionately much more popular than all the others and you get too many passengers overloading that one bus.

There seemed to be a spare Daytripper branded bus parked at the Eden Project this morning, and a man in an office, so perhaps that’s for that eventuality.

Buses duly arrived around 10:30 this morning but I only counted five arriving as well as a single deck displaying ‘Private’ which I had thought was on the St Austell hourly shuttle as I’d caught the same bus in that same blinded state on a journey arriving an hour earlier.

A small group of passengers alighted from the first double deck bus arriving (in the smart DayTripper livery too) but it soon became evident they were intending to stay and visit the Eden Project rather than head on to one of the other destinations. One other double deck brought in one other passenger but I didn’t see where they went to.

Otherwise it was just the drivers and myself.

You can’t fault the drivers for their enthusiasm. All the ones I spoke to were hoping passenger numbers will pick up next week, being half term, and on into the summer.

One long serving slightly cynical driver spoke of the four hour briefing he’d attended and expressed his concerns the whole idea was at risk as journey timings were very tight with the result everyone will be rushing to meet the set interchange time.

I noticed this morning one bus leaving as another was arriving which will obviously undermine the whole idea if it occurs when more passengers are travelling. And it’s a mystery what happened to the missing buses this morning.

I headed back to St Austell at 10:35 on a Mevagissey bound bus, and we did pick up one other passenger, so I can’t report whether the other passenger-less buses stayed at the Eden Project or continued on to their designated attraction.

Only two of the buses seen today were in Daytripper livery (including that spare) but the First Kernow paint shop has obviously been inundated with work due to introducing so many innovations at once.

The theory behind this initiative is a great one but I am worried the return times, like on the Dartmoor Explorer, of necessity to fit in with college times, are much too early for day trippers. But even that long serving slightly cynical driver acknowledged, when prompted, it would have been inconceivable to have seen First Bus try anything as adventurous as this ten years or so ago when Western Greyhound were cleaning up all over the south west and some were predicting the complete demise of First.

It’s certainly an Adventure compared to those days.

PS While in Cornwall this time I didn’t have time to try the new Falmouth Coaster and there’s the exciting Exmoor Explorer beginning this weekend so it looks as though the South West will be in my travel diary again very soon.

I remember Western Greyhound caught them from Bodmin to,I think Liskard,a few years ago.i wonder if they are still going?

No, they had a fire that took the heart out of the business and then were sold to some one who was closed down shortly afterwards.

One thing that I am usure about with these new buses is what tickets you can use on them – it says on the website, I think, you can use the normal Cornwall day ticket but then they have their own adventures by bus ticket which seems to be the same price, so I was a bit confused by that

Also, First seem to be having issues publishing their timetables online, which means that on bustimes.org there is only information up until this Saturday 29th may, which isn’t too bad, but additionally if you search for any journey on google maps dated after the 29th may then no first Cornwall buses will show up on the search, which could cause potential passengers to not take the bus as journeys can seem a lot longer than they should be since google maps can only search with transport for Cornwall buses and the train. Also, first buses of somerset don’t seem to have any of their journeys showing up on google maps at all – even if I search for a journey right now. This is a big issue as a lot of people will plan their journeys with google maps, and they cannot see that first are running any buses in this area

Not sure if you picked up that the G7 summit causes suspension of the St Ives Railway Line, as well as road closures near Newquay Airport with will make the S2 impossible to run, and either a massive diversion for the 56 and Atlantic Coaster, or complete suspension of the Newquay to Mawgan Porth section. Talking of S2, I believe the two former Seaford & District convertible open toppers are not ready yet, and has anyone seen any sign of either of the open sided (ie no glass) E200s ??

Regarding the Days Out Network, the D8 has to be solo operated because of using the Safe Harbour terminal in Fowey, and the D11 has to be single deck because of using the old 593 route under the Newquay Branch Line at Goss Moor. All the other routes have used double decks, although some St Austell shorts on the D5 plus the afternoon D5 to the Lost Gardens Of Helligan, seems to use a Solo. As I understand it, 3 Solos and 7 Deckers are painted in the special livery for the 8 buses needed on these routes, but seem to spend most of their time on other services. My friend found, like you, that one of the connections from Eden left before his bus arrived, which is not very clever, and several D buses last week failed to run at all, drivers saying that the summer changes has caused a number of drivers to resign. Electronic departure boards in Newquay describe the midday D1 service as route D1A, it being rather different to the other D1 route.

It did seem a bit odd to introduce the new Bodmin to Truro direct service, when the Bodmin to Newquay link formerly provided regularly (and well used) by Western Greyhound has never been replaced. Maybe a two hourly service on each would have been sensible, especially if via the original 593 route via Goss Moor and Castle-An-Denas (which D11 passes).

The original Lizard imagery introduced back in 2019 was on new Optare Solo SR’s single deckers like your photo shows not Enviro 200 buses. Shame there is no printed publication available yet for all these new initiatives, really hope they succeed. Don’t forget the new Exeter Discover Tour starts this weekend to add to your list of South West travels.

Thanks for that – post updated re Optare Solo SRs. And also thanks for the reminder about the Exeter tour.

A friend tried to sample the 1600 Exeter tour yesterday. He gave up when no bus had appeared by 1615. Great offer, poor delivery is the vibe I’m getting about these FSW summer services so far.

The 88 from Redruth to Newquay via nowhere route is even more lonely than the 89 from Truro to Bodmin.

To help with steamed-up windows, carry a damp chamois leather in a small Tu**erware container.

We organized that tour from Australia well ahead of time, planning to visit Zvenigorod with big group of extended family and friends with teens as part of our New Year trip to Moscow. The communication with Anton, our guide, was excellent during the time since booking till the excursion day. The actual day was organized very good, taken into account mixed group of adults, born in USSR and kids, born in Australia. Anton organized our activities to be suitable for all of us. As adults, we were enjoyed country side during winter and Monastery's quietness and ability to jump to the cold "holy" water at one of the oldest Monasteries of Russia - Savva Storoghevskiy Man Monastery. That was the most amazing and nearly magical experience! Kids were enjoyed of snow and treats Anton provide for us, including buisquits and Sbiten'. We also visited very interesting Museum of Russian desserts and learn a lot about ancient russian sweets; have a look on our past in the Museum of USSR and bought some yammie things to enjoy later.
