The Land’s End Coaster (Routes 1 & 1A) offers one of Britain’s most spectacular coastal bus journeys, connecting the historic harbour town of Penzance with Land’s End via some of Cornwall’s most breathtaking scenery.
The Lands End Coaster showcases the dramatic beauty of West Penwith, passing pristine beaches, hidden coves, and towering granite cliffs that plunge into the Atlantic.
At £8 for an all-day adult ticket, this scenic service provides exceptional value for exploring Cornwall’s far western treasures without battling narrow lanes or hunting for parking spaces.
What makes this route special
The Land’s End Coaster distinguishes itself through its unwavering focus on Cornwall’s most dramatic coastal scenery. Unlike sprawling rural services, this route concentrates on delivering passengers to four of Cornwall’s most iconic destinations while maximising scenic impact along the way.
The modern double-decker buses provide elevated views through large windows, ensuring passengers don’t miss the spectacular coastal panoramas regardless of weather conditions.
Operating year-round, the service proves equally valuable to tourists seeking Instagram-worthy vistas and locals navigating daily life in Cornwall’s remote western reaches.
The route’s design enables both quick point-to-point journeys and leisurely full-day explorations, with the flexibility to hop on and off at multiple scenic spots.
Journey times remain manageable – approximately 40 minutes from Penzance to Porthcurno on the direct service – making multiple stops entirely feasible within a day trip.
