Stylish Penzance
Penzance might be a traditional market town on the waters of Mounts Bay with some of the cleanest beaches around and with a wealth of Celtic heritage on its doorstep. But there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy a stylish visit to the town which isn’t lost in a time warp.
There’s a great selection of High Street stores located at the impressive and stylish Wharfside shopping centre, which caters for the discerning shopper’s every need and offers a variety of places to eat, drink and relax whether you fancy a quick coffee and Panini, something from the baker’s oven. or a deli-style treat.
Wharfside boasts that it has the best views in the country, so if visitors are not attracted for the shopping, the centre’s waterside location certainly won’t be a disappointment. It’s conveniently placed within walking distance of the bus and train stations and close to car parking facilities.
When you’re tired of shopping, you can continue your visit to Penzance in style with a visit to one of the numerous galleries that host the work of talented local artists, and which demonstrate that the town is well placed as a cultural hub. And the charming Art Deco style outdoor lido, which was re-opened in 1995 and is located on the Promenade, is great for both swimmers and spectators who are looking for something memorable and different.
From traditional inns to fine fish restaurants, wine bars, pizza and pasta restaurants, there is a variety of dining options in Penzance to suit most tastes and budgets, and for those who like to bring the day to a close with a trip to the movies, there is a conveniently located cinema with its own restaurant that has received favourable reviews.
