Location:
Launceston sits near the Cornwall / Devon border alongside the A30 dual carriageway spine road for the two Counties and enjoys an excellent balance of travel distance to all parts of Cornwall and Devon. The town has a gorgeous town centre featuring a high percentage of listed buildings with a traditional central square. The White Hart Arcade takes access just off this square and links to Madford Lane which is a street offering free car parking much used by locals. Consequently, the White Hart Arcade is one of the main pedestrian footways into the town centre and being covered is also a very popular access during inclement weather. The Arcade has a successful trading record with almost full occupancy since it`s creation some 40 years ago.
