Lying about 64 miles west-southwest of Plymouth and 255 miles west-southwest of London, Penzance is the most westerly major town in Cornwall. It's an inviting blend of history and heritage, where quaint lanes such as Chapel Street hide iconic locations, like the Egyptian House and the Admiral Benbow public house, believed to have inspired part of Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel Treasure Island.

Your wanderings may take you to the charming neighbouring villages encompassed within Penzance parish, such as the historic Newlyn or the whimsical Mousehole. Step into the past with a visit to the Morrab Gardens, home to unusual, exotic trees, shrubs and the occasional peacock. More architectural beauty awaits along the seafront promenade, and no trip to Penzance is complete without a dip into the iconic Jubilee Pool, one of Britain's oldest surviving Art Deco swimming baths.

When to visit Penzance

The ideal time to embrace the best of Penzance is during the balmy summer months of June through August. Bask in the glory of sandy beaches fit for both families and sunbathers, each providing a sanctuary for relaxation or play.

Beyond the sandy shores, summer is the perfect season for alfresco adventures. The town offers a plethora of family-friendly attractions, including the historical St. Michael's Mount and the Penlee House Gallery and Museum. Be it fishing expeditions, boat tours, or leisurely strolls along the promenade, the inviting English summer invites visitors to absorb the best of Penzance's outdoor allure.
