Vacanza estiva ** The town of ****// Penzance //**** is named "Pen Sans" in the ancient Cornish language, meaning "Holy Headland", referring to the headland to the western side of the harbour on which a chapel was established by early Christians well over 1000 years ago. Today St Mary's Church (shown above) is located on the same site. Penzance is the major town of the district of Penwith, or the Lands End Peninsula. The town has the only seashore promenade in Cornwall which extends from the harbour towards the fishing port of Newlyn - a mile or so to the west. ** 

A trip to Marazion ... //Longing for a nice and quiet place where to spend a few days? Breathing some salty air while waiting for the tide to rise? Well, there you are: let's go to Marazion!//

 Just where is Marazion and St Michael's Mount?  Marazion is well placed on the south side of West Cornwall. St Michael's Mount sits majestically in the waters offshore.  Marazion is perfectly placed in Cornwall. It is easy to visit nearby resorts on the south coast from here, but also Cornwall's northern side.  There are local coach excursions which take in Marazion or simply hop on a local bus.  If you are hiring a car this part of Cornwall is lovely to explore and very accessible.  Walk across to St Michael's Mount if the tide is right or take one of the local boats that will ferry you across for a reasonable fare.  Once you have landed on St Michael's Mount take time to explore what is open to the public and enjoy the stunning views back over Marazion
