Penzance
Penzance is located in beautiful Mount's Bay - overlooking the stunning island of St. Michael's Mount.
Penzance is Cornwall's most westerly borough - just 10 miles from Land's End.
This is a land of ancient Celtic history and outstanding natural beauty. In this part of Cornwall you will find
towering cliffs, secret coves, sandy beaches, mystical moors, and ancient tors.

In days gone by this was a land of smugglers and pirates.
Today it is a paradise for surfers, for family adventures, for romantic getaways, and for simply relaxing.
