The Old Market Town of Penzance bustles with shops and restaurants. Our apartment complex is situated a short stroll form the heart of the town at the bottom of the historic Chapel Street, where the news of Lord Nelson's Death first reached England. Chapel Street is steeped in history, from The National Trust's Egyptian House to the infamous Admiral Benbow pub with its tales of smugglers tunnels. A short walk to Newlyn, where Cornwall's biggest fishing fleet are based, you pass Britain's largest open air swimming pool and take in the old Promenade.
