Title: Travelling times from Roche?
Post by: MysticBreeze on Wednesday 14 January 09 03:32 GMT (UK)

I was wondering if someone could tell me how long it would take to get from Roche to Bodmin and from Roche to St Austell?  Just trying to get an idea of how long it would have taken to travel the roads by horse (but car info is just as good).  Thank you in advance.
Oh one other thing:  What about Roche to London?  (thats where the family finally ended up in the late 1800s).  Thank you
