HOW TO GET TO CARNE CREST
At the end of the M5 just past Exeter take the A30 at the top of the steep hill. Make sure that you are in one of the two left lanes, as the road layout has just been modified.
Continue along the A30 for some 90+ miles and at the Bodmin roundabout the road becomes a single carriageway (although there are a few single carriageway stretches before this). Stay on the A30 and after about 4 miles you will come through Victoria and go under the infamous Goss Moor Railway Bridge (which is hit by at least six high sided lorries a year despite all the warning signs). Proceed for approximately 1 mile and take the next right turn signposted RAF St. Mawgan. Proceed for several miles along a fairly winding road until you come to the St. Columb Major roundabout. Take the second exit onto the A 3059 (posted Newquay,
Airport 4) for some two miles, and just past the Power petrol station on your right take the next right turn signposted Airport, Mawgan Porth (NOT RAF St. Mawgan). Continuing on a winding road through the woods for about four miles you will then pass the airport on your left. Go on to the T junction and turn right onto the B3276 to Mawgan Porth. Go down the steep hill and BEWARE of the hairpin bend at the bottom, over the narrow bridge (it's your right of way in this direction) with the beach on your left. Yes, you are nearly there! On continuing up the hill the other side the road bends sharply left at the top, signposted Padstow, and you enter Trenance. Go past the Bedruthan Steps Hotel on your left, and after the next sharp left hand bend go on for 100 metres, where just before the phone box and post box on your left, and next to the 'Ambiance' flats, turn left and then immediately right posted 'Private access only, 15mph please'. Continue on for 50 metres and take the right fork at the bottom. Go up the small hill past the pink house on your right ('Sunnyside') and the next house is Carne Crest, your final destination, where there is ample parking.
