The A39
The A39 is one of the longest routes in South West England. It stretches from Bath in Somerset to Falmouth in Cornwall passing some famous historical places including Wells and Glastonbury and touring along the Somerset, Devon and Cornish Coasts, before skirting to the north of Bodmin Moor and crossing the county to the historic port of Falmouth on the southern shore. The section running between the North Devon Link Road at Barnstaple in Devon and the A30 at Fraddon in Cornwall is known as the Atlantic Highway, and was classified as a trunk road until 2002.
