By air

For most overseas guests, the London airports are probably most convenient. You would require a morning arrival into London in order to complete the journey to St Ives in the same day. See www.nationalrail.co.uk for details on travelling from these airports by train.

If you are arriving at London Heathrow take the Heathrow Express (fastest but expensive) or the Heathrow Connect train (slower but cheaper) to London Paddington. Trains run from here direct to St Erth, where you could change for the St Ives branch line. Total journey time around 6 - 6½ hours.

From Gatwick Airport the easiest option is to take a train to Reading station. Change here for the mainline train to St Erth, where you could change for the St Ives branch line. Total journey time around 6½ hours.

The local Newquay Airport is served by a handful of regional flights, but has poor onward connections by public transport. A taxi is the most convenient option. Allow £55 for the 40 mile journey.
