I took the shorter route, bus from Truro! Got off in Penryn and walked down to Falmouth. Can’t imagine using public transport all the way to/from Sussex, but it’s not much fun by car either.
I’m 66 today, which means I’ve got my pensioners bus pass. Just got back from a day trip to Falmouth, from Truro, and intend to make the most of it. It was actually quite refreshing to chat to other people, rather than just the two of us in the car, and to see things you can’t see from car...
