Penzance is a lively and characterful town sat right at the southwestern tip of Cornwall, where the land seems to gently lean into the Atlantic. It's got that salty sea air, palm trees lining the promenade, and a sense of laid-back charm that draws in everyone from surfers and walkers to artists and families. There's a real blend of old Cornish soul and modern creativity running through the streets, and you're never far from a cracking view of the coast.

The town's roots go back centuries, originally growing as a fishing port before developing into a key market town and resort in the Georgian and Victorian eras. It took its name from the Cornish for “holy headland” and has seen smugglers, pirates, and traders pass through its harbour over the years. Penzance was also bombed during the Second World War and played a role in Cornwall's mining and shipping industries. These days, it wears its history lightly but proudly—you can still spot glimpses of the past in the buildings, cobbled lanes and old harbour walls.

Penzance has plenty to keep you busy. There's the iconic Jubilee Pool, a 1930s Art Deco seawater lido that's a favourite in the summer months. The town centre is full of quirky shops, friendly pubs, independent cafés, and art galleries. The Exchange and Penlee House Gallery showcase local and historic art, while the promenade and Morrab Gardens are perfect for an afternoon wander. There are churches, bookshops, museums and markets—something for every pace of life. And if you fancy hopping over to the Isles of Scilly, the ferry departs from the harbour.

Cornwall as a whole is stacked with brilliant places to visit. From the wild cliffs of Land's End to the golden sands of Sennen and Porthcurno, there's no shortage of scenic spots nearby. St Ives, with its beaches and galleries, is a short train ride away, and the open-air Minack Theatre carved into the cliff is well worth the trip. You've also got ancient sites like Lanyon Quoit and countless tucked-away villages that feel frozen in time. Whether you're into hiking, history or just taking it all in, Cornwall delivers.

Getting to Penzance takes you through some lovely countryside. The town marks the end of the main rail line from London Paddington, with direct trains taking you all the way down. Road links follow the A30, which runs across the spine of Cornwall. Local buses are regular, and if you're flying, the nearest airport is in Newquay, about an hour and a bit away by car. You can also get to Penzance by coach, and the harbour remains an active port for both ferries and fishing.

Cornwall has a way of getting under your skin. It's full of rugged beauty, strong traditions, and a sense of place that's hard to match. From moorland to hidden coves, ancient tin mines to buzzing surf towns, it's a county that offers variety without ever losing its identity. The local culture, food, and slower pace of life make it feel like a proper escape, even for those who live there year-round.
