BUS 1 / 1A connects Penzance, Porthcurno, Land's End, Sennen, St Buryan, Treen, Lamorna and Newlyn in a circular service - see current timetable. Penzance is about 8 miles from Porthcurno. Penzance bus and coach station is only 50 metres from Penzance train station and Tourist Information Centre on the seafront in the centre of Penzance for National Express and Flixbus long distance coaches, First Great Western and Virgin and Southwest Trains services for all destinations, including London, Plymouth and St Ives, and Go Cornwall Bus connections to all destinations in Cornwall. There is an overnight sleeper train service between London and Penzance. See Traveline for more info on all public transport in Cornwall and use their journey planner.
You can buy an all-day pass for unlimited travel on the day for a person or for a whole family, and in 2026 single fares are still set to a fixed maximum price of £3.00. Outside of towns the bus will in theory pick you up and let you off where you ask it to, which is called "hail and ride" meaning you can hail the bus to stop by waving your hand at the driver, or to get off, ask the driver in advance to let you off at a chosen place. The very popular open-top A1/A2/A3 (formerly 300 bus) is no longer an open-top bus. For many years fully open-top Bus 300 did a full circuit of Penwith, including Land's End, Sennen, St Just, Pendeen, Morvah, Zennor, St Ives, Carbis Bay, Lelant, St Erth, Marazion,Penzance, and Newlyn. The same route is now covered by Bus 1.
To go to the Minack Theatre by bus take Bus 1/1A and get off at the final Porthcurno bus stop at the car park in the Porthcurno valley, beside the Cable Station Inn and opposite the Telegraph Museum. It is about five minutes walk up a steep hill to the Minack from there - the buses do not go up that hill, and there are no buses at night to come back on, and you may encounter severe traffic jams caused by the Minack Theatre.
Vintage Bus Day
Porthcurno is visited each year by vintage buses running free on Penzance Vintage Bus Day in spring.
