Penzance Seafront and Harbour

Highlight • Settlement

The coastal resort of Penzance has a faded-glamour that’s synonymous with the British seaside at its best. Renowned for great weather and plenty of nostalgia, the town has plenty to see, do and explore.

Penzance Harbour

Highlight • Structure

A popular coastal town, Penzance is the most westerly town in Cornwall. The town has plenty to see and do: eating fish and chips by the harbour, visiting Branwell House which was once home to the Bronte sisters, or wandering in Morrab Gardens.

On the metal fence is the first line of a song "Abide with me, fast falls the eventide" and below that the notes. Some research tells me that "Abide with Me" is a Christian hymn by Scottish Anglican clergyman Henry Francis Lyte. A prayer to God to remain with the speaker throughout his life and death was written by Lyte in 1847 as he was dying of tuberculosis. It is usually sung to the tune "Eventide" by English organist William Henry Monk. You can listen to this on youtube sung by Audrey Assad

View of St Michael's Mount

Highlight • Castle

From here is a great view of St Michael's Mount, a tidal island that is home to a castle and a church. Access to the island is possible by foot across a causeway at low to mid tide.

Looked after by the National Trust, you can visit St Michael's Mount, which is still home to a community of people, cut off from the mainland at every high tide. See their website for further details nationaltrust.org.uk/st-michaels-mount

The site is historically linked to Mont St Michael in Normandy, which is a very similar tidal island.
