SITUATION
Penlaurel is situated in the small and popular hamlet of Daws House, only a few minutes’ drive from the town of Launceston to the east and the village of South Petherwin to the west, which offers a local public house, village hall and primary school.
Launceston offers a wide range of social, commercial and shopping facilities including primary and secondary schooling, a range of supermarkets and a comprehensive retail centre. Launceston occupies a strategic location with a better balance of travel distance to all parts of the two counties than any other centre due to the A30 dual carriageway.
Exeter, to the east (42 miles), provides an intercity rail link, M5 motorway access and an international airport, whilst the city of Plymouth, 28 miles to the south, provides an intercity rail link and continental ferry port.
In all directions from Launceston is scenery of outstanding natural beauty, be it the North Cornish coastline or the open expanses of Bodmin Moor to the west. To the east is Dartmoor National Park and running southwards is the hidden secrets of the Tamar Valley steeped in 18th Century mining history.
