Holmbush Road, St Austell

The A390 runs for 60 miles between Tavistock and a roundabout with the A30 at Three Burrows, 5 miles north west of the city of Truro in Cornwall, via Lostwithiel, St Blazey, and St Austell. It is an important road as it forms part of the main route (the Truro to Dobwalls section) from Truro to Plymouth. It can be used to travel along the spine of Cornwall as a more leisurely drive instead of using the A30.
