Day Trips on The Bus
Our perfect central location means you can visit the best that Cornwall has to offer on day trips. We were really very happy to hear that Cornwall was chosen by the Government to launch a 4-year cut-price bus fare pilot.
With a bus stop just over half a mile away on the outskirts of our village, Mithian, a bus ride is a great way to get around while you can enjoy the scenery! See some ideas for daytrips using our Mithian bus stop .

Lower Price Fairs “any ticket, any bus”
Visitors to Cornwall can take advantage of the unlimited trips and lower prices, saving between 20% and 40%. With the prices at £7.50 a day or £30 for a week for all over Cornwall you’ll start saving quickly. If you are lucky enough to have a senior bus pass then you really should be enjoying the bus services.
Easy to Pay with ‘Tap and Cap’
It’s never been easier to pay for a bus journey in Cornwall! Simply tap when you get on and off with either a payment card or a device. Remember to use the same card or device and it will automatically cap your payments when you reach £7.50 per day or £30 per week. A week starts from the first tap! Plus you can check all your taps and journeys easily giving you peace of mind.
Why You Need to Take the Bus!
You can get to some wonderful places but even better, the added benefits are that you can both enjoy the journey and views, you can have a tipple in a Cornish pub at lunchtime and there will be no parking fees!
