Traveling to Helston Railway

• Getting To Us By Car

  From Helston

  From Helston take the A394 to Penzance and follow the brown signs onto the B3302 to St Ives and Camborne.

  Turn right at the Junction of the B3303 road to Camborne. Go through Crowntown and take the Chynhale and Prospidnick right hand turning.

  At the bottom of the hill turn left and then after going under the railway bridge turn left up the incline to Trevarno Farm and follow the signs to the car park.

  From Camborne

  If you are coming from Camborne take the B3303 towards Helston and after going through Nancegollan turn left towards Chynhale and Prospidnick at the brown sign.

  At the bottom of the hill turn left and then after going under the railway bridge turn left up the incline to Trevarno Farm and follow the signs to the car park.

• Getting To Us By Rail

  The nearest main line station is Camborne about 6 miles away which is served by Great Western Railway services from London Paddington and Cross Country Trains services from Bristol, the Midlands and the North.

• Getting To Us By Bus

  The nearest bus route is First Group Service 38 which links Camborne Bus Station with Helston and serves Crowntown on the B3303. The journey is a little bit more than 20 minutes. Get off at the old Crowntown Inn which is sadly now closed.

  The walk to the Railway is just under a mile and around 20 minutes at normal walking pace.  From the bus stop at Crowntown walk north towards Nancegollan (back in the direction of Camborne), and after about 300m follow the brown tourist sign, on the right, down to Chynhale, where you bear left up the hill. The Railway entrance, up the concrete ramp, is 100 metres on the left, after you go under the high arched railway bridge.

  Please note that the last bus to Camborne is at 1602, but please leave some extra time as the hill up from Chynhale is quite a drag.
