The gorgeous town of Penzance is one of the top places in Cornwall to visit whilst in the southwest of England. Tucked away on the shores of the south coast, it’s absolutely idyllic to spend a few days visiting. Not only that, there are heaps of the best things to do in Penzance dotted across the town and the wider area.
