Trains from Bristol to Boscastle

I am flying from Belfast to Bristol in March 2007, and then travelling down to Boscastle. Does anyone know if there is a rail service to Boscastle from Bristol or should I just hire a car and travel down by road.

many thanks

    check martin travel and transports section there on your left hand side.
    Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
    call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
    Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"

    The north Devon/Cornwall coast is in something of a railway desert as the mainline sticks near the south coast and Boscastle is north of Dartmoor. You can get the train to Exeter, then bus 510 to Camelford

    and then a 524 or 594 to Boscastle

    It's a bit of an epic bus journey (over 3 hours) but the good news is that you can buy a day ticket from the driver and do it for 5 pounds.

    Not easy by public transport!
  • You can also fly from Bristol to Newquay for appx £27 single.
    Not sure what buses are like for connection to Boscastle.
