with a vibrant history. On the shores of Mounts Bay lies the
ancient Marazion, Newlyn and Mousehole, each one rich in Cornish
tradition and colour.
Penzance
Penzance is the sunniest and friendliest of West Country towns
and a gateway to the mysterious Lands End Peninsula the most
inspiring region of Celtic Britain. The towns busy harbour
is filled with moored yachts and pleasure craft and within
its granite walled dock larger fishing boats and commercial
vessels load and unload. Close to the harbour is the unique
Trinity House National Lighthouse Centre with its fascinating
exhibitions and displays. Beyond the harbour is the open air
Jubilee Bathing Pool designed in a nostalgic art deco style.
From the Jubilee Pool, Penzances famous promenade, the longest
in Cornwall, runs along the Mount's Bay shoreline.
Penzance is an ideal town to explore on foot. The main street
is Market Jew Street, a busy shopping area with a flanking
terrace that leads gently uphill to the handsome classical
building of the Market House. Behind Market House is Market
Place from where the other shopping streets of Causewayhead
and Alverton street lead off. From here also, the olde worlde
Chapel Street winds down between attractive buildings that
include the lavishly painted and ornamented Egyptian House,
the 14th century Turks Head Inn, the Admiral Benbow restaurant
and the final flourish of the tall tower of the Church of
St Mary the Virgin.
Penzances south facing aspect and mild climate has nurtured
the sub-tropical Morrab Gardens and the peaceful Penlee Memorial
Park. Both lie between the centre of the town and the seafront.
The refurbished Penlee House Art Gallery and Museum in Penlee
Park has an outstanding collection of works of art and has
archaeological and local history sections. The Cornwall Geological
Museum at St Johns Hall in Alverton Street has one of the
best geolocial displays in Europe as befits a town at the
historic centre of Cornish mineral mining.
