By bus

Help protect the environment by using a cost-effective public transport system that offers extra relaxation, better views and no parking problems. It’s undoubtedly the best way to experience the winding and narrow B3306 coast road from St Ives to St Just, with stunning views at every turn. The popular open top Penwith Explorer service (May –Sept) allows you to relax and enjoy sights and hop on and off as often as you like. Other bus services include:
St Ives to St Just via Newbridge and Penzance (17) and via Madron and Penzance (17A); from St Just to Penzance (17B); the Penzance-Land’s End – St Just – Morvah – Penzance route (345); the Penzance – Zennor – St Ives route (343). Present your bus ticket at Geevor, Levant or the Wayside Folk Museum in Zennor and the admission price will be reduced.
