IT’S THE END OF THE LAND AS WE KNOW IT
Penzance is not Land’s End. But it’s the closest town to the most westerly end of the country so it’s always going to be associated with it and will always act as a gateway to the area. Penzance has much more going on than just being close to Land’s End, though. It’s a historic market town and port with some wonderful granite buildings and parks scattered throughout, not to mention the ace pubs and restaurants in town, plus the famous St Michael’s Mount right out there in the bay. Penzance is also a great base if you’re heading out around the most westerly edge of the county for its coastal walks, historic and fun attractions, scenery, tin heritage and beaches. And, of course, this is pirate country. Bring a few pieces of eight and enjoy a town that has so much more to offer than you may expect.
