Penzance

Penzance - home of the 'Pirates' of Gilbert and Sullivan - tourist and vacation centre of the Lands End peninsula - land of cliffs, moors, secluded beaches and spectacular scenery. A beautiful place to visit - a wonderful place to live.

Granted various Royal Charters from 1512 onwards and incorporated in 1614, it has a population of 20,255 and is currently Penwith's principal town.

Situated in the shelter of Mount's Bay, the town faces south-east onto the English Channel, is bordered to the west by the fishing port of Newlyn and to the east by the civil parish of Ludgvan. The town's location gives it a temperate climate that makes it warmer than most of the rest of Britain.
