Penzance

Links and Info;

The town of Penzance is an ancient market town. Penzance is the Capital of the far west of Cornwall and is set in beautiful Mounts Bay. Mounts Bay is dominated by the grandeur of St. Michael's Mount. Located just 10 miles from Land's End, an area of Celtic culture and outstanding natural beauty surrounds the town. Since around 1614 when Penzance was formally incorporated by Royal Charter, it has been the main commercial centre for the entire Land's End peninsula. Historically known as Penwith, it has the retail, commercial, residential and transport facilities needed for the whole area. One of my favourite locations in cornwall. With a population of just over 20,000, it is both a market town and a popular tourist destination. There are several historic houses in the town, amongst Regency and Georgian terraces, along with a number of museums and galleries. There is also an attractive promenade on its sea front.
