The whole of the West Country is served by Plymouth, which still lacks a direct motorway connection, but nevertheless this must be preferable to a longer drive along the coast.

Take the M4 west to the junction with the M5 then head South to Exeter. From Exeter, head Southwest on the A38 to Plymouth.

Roscoff used to be a small fishing port until the cauliflower farmers of Brittany formed a co-operative in order to export their produce to England. The success of this operation led to the building of the ferry port in Roscoff and the gradual expansion of the business until Brittany Ferries is now the leading operator on the western channel. Roscoff still retains some small town charm, with typical Breton houses clustered around the old fishing port, and several bars and restaurants. The ferry terminal is just outside the town.

Situated near the Western tip of Brittany, Roscoff provides an ideal destination for travellers heading for Brittany who prefer a sailing to a long drive. Brittany Ferries operate a regular ferry crossing service to Roscoff with sailings from Plymouth every day.
