About Penzance - show infohide info
Penzance is a port on the tip of Cornwall. It has a population of approximately 20,000 inhabitants. It was granted its royal charter in 1512. Situated in the shelter of the sweeping Mount's Bay, Penzance is bordered to the west by the fishing port of Newlyn and stretches towards the small town of Marazion to the east. The town's location gives it a unique subtropical climate, much warmer then most of the rest of England. Penzance until the 1930s was confined to the actual town of Penzance itself. Since this time the historical Borough of Penzance was extended to include the nearby settlements of Newlyn, Mousehole, Gulval and Heamoor. The ancient Borough of Penzance was abolished in 1974 and replaced initially by the Penzance Charter Trustees and from 1980, Penzance Town Council. Places of interest in Penzance include Penlee House - an art gallery and museum, notable for its collection of paintings by members of the Newlyn School. The sub-tropical Morrab Gardens are notable for their range of tender trees and shrubs many of which could not be grown outdoors anywhere else in the UK. The surrounding Regency and Georgian terraces and houses are only tainted by the shadow of the nearby seven-storey 1960s government offices. Chapel Street, the former main street of Penzance includes many sites of interest including the Egyptian House ,The Union Hotel (site of a georgian theatre), The Turks Head Inn and The Branwell House where the Mother and Aunt of the famous Bronte sisters once lived. Also of interest is the sea front with its promenade and Jubilee Bathing Pool harking back to Penzance's heyday at the turn of the century as a fashionable seaside resort. Nearby towns include Helston, St Ives, Falmouth, Camborne, Redruth, Hayle, Truro and Penryn.
