The beautiful yet ancient market town of Penzance is an absolute draw for tourists on coach holidays to Cornwall as it is set in Mount’s Bay that is dominated by St Michaels Mount. The town is an area of Celtic culture and outstanding natural beauty so everywhere you turn you will see dramatic cliffs, gorse covered moors and secluded sandy beaches.
The local scenery serves as an inspiration to poets, artists and writers alike. It was the history of smugglers & wreckers in Penzance that inspired Gilbert & Sullivan to name one of their most famous productions ‘The Pirates of Penzance’. The area is perfect for families with children as there are plenty of wide-open sandy beaches that are not only clean but the sea is also pollution free. There are also excellent opportunities for those sporting enthusiasts out there who love surfing and wind-surfing – the Atlantic Ocean will certainly provide some challenges for you!
