-	The Redruth-Camborne section serves to remove traffic from both slowly-spreading towns, whilst also superseding the original Redruth by-pass, long past its usefulness to the increasing volumes of traffic. This original relief road (now numbered A3047 and built to take the A30 in 1939) followed the line of the hills it traversed and even featured its own multilevel junction with the [[B3300]] at Tolgus Mount. A roundabout now dissects the road at the northbound on/off lanes junction although everything else including the original bridge remains in place otherwise.	+	The [[Redruth]]-Camborne section serves to remove traffic from both slowly-spreading towns, whilst also superseding the original [[Redruth]] by-pass, long past its usefulness to the increasing volumes of traffic.

-	At the end of the Camborne bypass, the road becomes a single carriageway until just east of Penzance. Whilst the road and its immediate surroundings are of little interest, in either a roads or a scenic sense, there are some treats just off the road. There are lovely beaches north of Hayle, whilst north of St. Erth lies the picturesque little town of St. Ives. Although St. Ives has many attractions such as a branch of the Tate Gallery, it does have horrendous parking problems during the summer.	+	At the end of the Camborne bypass, the road becomes a single carriageway until just east of [[Penzance]].

Although St. Ives has many attractions such as a branch of the Tate Gallery, it does have horrendous parking problems during the summer.

	As the A30 approaches the Channel coast, there's a roundabout junction with the A394 to Helston and the local road to Marazion, situated on Mount's Bay. Just off the coast sits St. Michael's Mount, a small rocky island, now run by the National Trust.

Just off the coast sits St. Michael's Mount, a small rocky island, now run by the National Trust.

-	The A30 becomes a dual-carriageway for the short run into Penzance, and just after passing the heliport, it reaches [[Branwell Lane]] roundabout. The first part of the old A30 through the town is re-numbered as [[B3311]] whilst the newer route takes a single carriageway bypass opened in 1989 around the back of the town. Penzance is home to two great gardens, Trengwainton and Trereife. As there is hardly ever any frost or snow in this area, they are able to grow plants which cannot be grown anywhere else in Britain.	+	The A30 becomes a dual-carriageway for the short run into [[Penzance]], and just after passing the heliport, it reaches [[Branwell Lane]] roundabout.

	At the [[Mount Misery]] roundabout the [[A3071]] to St. Just and Cape Cornwall leaves. The primary status of the route is lost and the A30 becomes a glorified B road. It commences an eight mile stretch to Land's End. This, as England's most westerly point, is a fitting end for, what is still one of Britain's most important roads. Arguably, the area has been spoiled by the construction of a theme park. However, it is still worth a trip just to see the sunset, which is truly spectacular.

-	After the rise from the river Camel an Arthurian Centre is passed and the road reaches a slight staggered junction with the [[B3266]].

	Shortly after the junction is a turning on the right for the [[B3263]] which heads towards Tintagel. The road then passes the large Delabole Wind Farm on the left before reaching Delabole itself. Although near to the coast, Delabole is a more industrial looking village and is famous for having Europe's deepest hole in the ground in the form of the Delabole Quarry where slate is extracted. The village actually only came into existence in the 20th century; it is named after the quarry. There were originally three hamlets: Pengelly, Medrose and Rockhead. When the railway arrived, the station was named Delabole after the quarry, and the three hamlets merged in order to keep the name consistent and prevent confusion. As well as the 30 mph limit, progress is often hampered by vehicles unable to pass because of parking on the narrow streets.

-	Once Delabole and the 30 mph and then very short 40 mph sections are left behind, the road comes into its own ~~and offers a highly pleasing experience to the motoring enthusiast~~. For the next 8 miles or so, the road is [[NSL]] and relatively straight, with only sweeping bends to attack. If you do come up to traffic there are a good number of places to pass. The only turnings of note are a left onto the [[B3267]] which heads towards the parallel [[A39]] and a right on to another branch of the [[B3267]] towards Port Isaac.	+	Once Delabole and the 30 mph and then very short 40 mph sections are left behind, the road comes into its own.

-	After a turn for the coastal and surfing village of Polzeath, the road heads in a more ~~Southerly~~ direction ~~and is less satisfying~~.

	The B3266 starts in the part of Boscastle known as Paradise. This is the newer part of the village and was away from the area devastated in the 2004 floods. The road starts from a junction on a bend of the [[B3263]] as that road begins its descent to the harbour. Leaving the village, the road climbs moderately as it follows the deep Jordan Valley. There are two significant bends; a left turn on crossing the stream and then right at a dissused quarry. The bends exist to avoid the worst of the natural countours in these parts. The climb is continued for the next couple of miles and the road nears a height of near 250 metres.		The B3266 starts in the part of Boscastle known as Paradise.

	The road now descends gently towards the back of Camelford, and passes an industrial estate and a sports centre. A 30mph limit stops the rapid progress. A spur of the B3266 is on the left and goes into the town centre. The main route continues aound the back of town. It bends to the south round a new housing estate and follows a new alignment to meet the [[A39]]. In this way the B3266 makes with the [[B3314]], an unofficial bypass of Camelford. Turning right, a short multiplex with the [[A39]] is necessary. There is a popular garage and filling station at this point.

-	The junction with the [[A39]] was formerly near a bend giving limited visibility. Upon development of a housing estate in Camelford, the opportunity was taken to divert the road to the ~~East~~ somewhat and away from the bend. This has definately improved sightlines.

	The junction with the [[A39]] was formerly near a bend giving limited visibility. Upon development of a housing estate in Camelford, the opportunity was taken to divert the road to the East somewhat and away from the bend. This has definately improved sightlines.

-	As described in the main text, the former NSL on the route south of the [[A39]] has been lowered to 50 mph. In the absence of speed cameras and limited police resources in this sparsely populated part of the country, it is largely ignored.

It is unclear how long the B3387 existed before the B3344 was curtailed, but certainly for the majority of the time since 1922, the road to Widecombe was unclassified.

For the next six-miles-or-so into Dartmouth the A3122 runs over high ground with some twisty and narrow sections. About halfway along is Hemborough Post, the turning for Dittisham, there is a sharp ninety-degree bend.

-	The road terminates at a mini-roundabout with the [[A379]] at the western end of Dartmouth. Until a few years ago this was a classic [[TOTSO]] for the [[A379]] as the mainline from the [[A3121]] continued along the [[A379]] down the steep hill past the Britannia Royal Naval College, to the Dartmouth Higher Ferry and town centre.	+	The road terminates at a mini-roundabout with the [[A379]] at the western end of Dartmouth.

-	Having reached the grandeur of Brighton station, all traffic is re-united to head up past the station on the aptly named Terminus Road. The views at the top of the hill are nothing short of fantastic with the railway yards and station in the foreground and half of Brighton behind this, disappearing to the horizon. Our road leaves this behind, continuing to climb. Things level out again around Compton Avenue and we are now heading west.

Barely bigger than a mini-roundabout, seven roads connect to it; it is understandable why two of them were made one-way.

-	Formerly part of the [[B3210]], the A3121 provides a link between the [[A38]] ‘Devon Expressway’ and part of the [[A379]] coastal route from [[Kingsbridge]] to Plymouth. It effectively serves to provide a main road link from Exeter (via the A38) to a number of sizable villages and suburbs to the east of Plymouth. In reality, however, much traffic uses various minor roads off the [[A38]] further west towards Plymouth in order to benefit from using a greater proportion of that road’s dual carriageway.	+	Formerly part of the [[B3210]], the A3121 provides a link between the [[A38]] ‘Devon Expressway’ and part of the [[A379]] coastal route from [[Kingsbridge]] to [[Plymouth]].
