Situation West Cornwall. There is something quite magical and individual about this area of the county and is occasionally referred to as the Wild West. Captivating dramatic coastal scenery with smugglers coves, stunning beaches and traditional fishing villages define this timeless corner of Cornwall. In land heathland covers historic mining settlements and much of the land is actively farmed to this day. To the South lies the famous Minack Theatre sat high above the sea on a rocky granite outcrop. St. Just, once the mining centre of the peninsula rich in heritage, has a strong sense of community and an artistic scene. It is home to Cape Cornwall School, awarded a specialist arts status, and offers what one would expect in a traditional Cornish village: food stores, pubs, a post office, restaurants and art galleries. Penzance, is an historic port standing on the south facing shores of Mount s Bay dominated by the beautiful St Michael s Mount. With one of the mildest climates in the country the gardens in the area display an abundance of palm trees and sub tropical plants. A bohemian art scene with three world class galleries as well as a good selection of day to day conveniences characterises the town. The south west coastal path offers miles of stunning scenery as well as leading onto two of Cornwall s finest surfing beaches, Sennen and Gwenver. There are three superb links golf courses within easy reach, all in spectacular locations. This area is fast developing as a culinary hub noted for its seafood and fine restaurants including the award-winning Gurnards Head Inn, Ben s Cornish Kitchen in Marazion, The Old Coastguard in Mousehole and Ben Tunnicliffe s at Sennen Cove. Communications to Cornwall are mostly dual carriageway with the A30 from the M5 at Exeter to Penzance. The London Paddington- Penzance mainline ends overlooking Mount s Bay just yards from the sea. Cornwall Airport (Newquay) offers daily flights to London Gatwick as well as to many other European seasonal destinations.
