Our location in mid Cornwall makes us easy to get to - we're just 10 minutes from the A30, a mile from the Eden Project and 5 miles from St Austell train station. 

Our full address is: 
KNIGHTOR WINERY, TRETHURGY, NR ST AUSTELL, CORNWALL, PL26 8YQ

​
Be aware that postcodes and SatNav directions in Cornwall are not as accurate as they could be. Though we are easy to find, Sat Navs using our postcode PL26 8YQ may send you to Knightor Close in the village of Trethurgy. From here, you are only 500 meters to the south of us and should just follow the leafy lane north out of the village. Our granite gateposts will be found on the left after you pass our Manor House.

There are brown tourist signs to us on the road from Carluddon to the Eden Project and our signs at the end of our lane that joins this road

BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Our nearest railway station is in St Austell, which forms part of the Penzance to London Paddington line. 

The nearest bus services stop at Trethurgy (500m) or Penwithick (1.2 miles). Trethurgy village is served by route 101 operated by First Kernow and this route runs between St Austell town, bus/train station and the Eden Project. The bus runs approximately every hour and stops just 500 metres down the lane from Knightor. This bus also runs on Sundays and the last bus from Trethurgy back to St Austell is around 6pm.  

​Penwithick is served by route 27 operated by First Kernow. This route runs between St Austell, Truro and Bodmin. This bus also runs approximately every hour including on Sundays. 


Commuters from Trethurgy or bus service 27 will have to walk on the country lanes and are advised to wear high visibility clothing and carry a torch in the evenings as there are no street lights. 

CYCLISTS & PEDESTRIANS VERY WELCOME

Covered parking is provided for visitors arriving by bicycle.

There is a comprehensive network of national and local cycle routes in Cornwall. Routes in the local area are shown in red and green. We are a very convenient rest stop for users of the clay trail between Wheal Martyn and Eden. This route offers a 360-degree panorama providing spectacular views of St Austell Bay and the clay mines

National Cycle Route 3, which locally links Bodmin to St Austell, skirts the northern/western fringe of the Eden Project. An off-road cycle route links to Trethurgy (part of the Wheal Martyn Trail) and then a cyclist would have a short journey on the unclassified road to Knightor Manor (approximately 2km overall between National Route 3 and the site).

The Wheal Martyn Trail is one of the ‘Clay Trails’ to the north of St Austell. The extension of this trail to the west serves Carthew/Scredda. To the north the Bugle Trail links Bugle to Knightor Manor finishing with a short journey on the road network.

The previously mentioned cycle routes can also be used by pedestrians with the path network from the Eden project to us only making use of the public highway for a few hundred meters along a country lane.

Commuters from Trethurgy or bus service 27 will have to walk on the country lanes and are advised to wear high visibility clothing and carry a torch in the evenings as there are no street lights. ​
