The ancient market town of Penzance is situated on the south-facing shores of Mounts Bay in the far west of Cornwall. The name of the town derives from ancient Cornish and means 'Holy Headland', referring to the headland on the western side of the harbour where an early Christian chapel was established over 1000 years ago
Located just 10 miles from Land's End, Penzance occupies a sheltered position position close to the sea, in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Originally a fishing community Penzance has grown to become the main market town of West Cornwall.
Warmed by the gulf stream currents, Penzance enjoys a famously mild climate with spring coming early and winter hardly bothering at all!
The town and local area is a great base for a holiday. Visit lovely towns like Mousehole, or St Ives and take in the breathtaking grandeur of Land's End and St Michael's Mount.
There are some fabulous beaches locally, many with awards for their facilities and their cleanliness. And if you are feeling energetic there are excellent opportunities for watersports such as surfing, wind-surfing, and sailing.
