Towns near Penzance
|
|
Not quite as firmly on the tourist trail as St Ives, Penzance has real character and is more down to earth. The Jubilee Pool, on the Promenade, is an enormous open-air, Art Deco-style lido, complete with sun terraces and cafe - it’s a great place to while away a sunny afternoon.

Marazion
(2.9 miles)
Most people barely glance at the village of Marazion as they head off over the causeway to St Michael’s Mount, but it’s worth a nose. There are some lovely galleries and a few cosy cafes to linger in.

Mousehole
(2.8 miles)
This cosy village is awash with myth and legend; it would seem that most fairytales concerning Cornwall feature Mousehole. The Christmas lights here draw people from the four corners.

Lamorna Cove
(4.2 miles)
Just 6 miles from Penzance, Lamorna Cove could be in a different country. This tiny quayside village is some way off the beaten track and has all the atmosphere of a Cornwall long gone. Found at the end of a deep, heavily wooded valley, Lamorna has long been a popular haunt for artists. Divers are drawn to the clear waters here, while those seeking a tranquil spot to enjoy the coastline will find that lovely, unspoilt Lamorna is just what they’ve been looking for.
