Redruth itself offers a wide range of shopping, commercial and schooling facilities whilst the A30 provides rapid and easy access around the rest of the county, west to Penzance and St Ives and east to the cathedral city of Truro, which is considered to be the county’s retailing and administrative centre with hospitals, state and private schooling, colleges, sports and cultural facilities. On the south coast Falmouth is the major port and yachting centre with one of the world’s finest natural harbours and excellent day sailing waters. Redruth train station is on the main Penzance to Paddington line (London approximately 5 hours travelling time). The location is particularly accessible to both the north and south coasts of Cornwall, cliff walks and numerous safe and sandy beaches. The South Coast Footpath leads from Portreath to Porthtowan on the north cliffs with much of this area served by the National Trust. Tehidy Golf Course and Country Park, a cricket club, rugby club and tennis club are close by.
