please can you advise me... each year I tow to Cornwall down the A30. I have a heavy old Swift Utopia and its always a real struggle towing up some of the long, high hills on route. I have an automatic Chrysler Voyager. Is it less hilly going the old way via Plymouth please? Thank you in advance. Siân

I wouldn't really know, never towed the old A38 way down to Cornwall (think its the A38 that goes through Plymouth)

I would imagine that over the whole trip it will probably even itself out, some parts on the A30 will be flatter while some parts on the A38 will be flatter.

I would say though the A38 seems to be a longer route, and you'll have to get onto the A30 eventually (somewhere around Fletchersbridge)

Halton hill just after Exeter is pretty steep. Also some long steep hills from Plymouth to Bodmin on the a38 where you meet the a30 again.

Just come down the A38 to Looe. I think the car will need a new clutch after the stop start on the hills. If I weren’t heading for the south there’s no way I’d use the A38.
