Location A rural location, almost a mile from the main Penzance to Land's End road, with no near neighbours. A tranquil setting with starry nights, no light pollution and full of wildlife! Situated in an "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty" and because it's a peninsular, never far from the sea. Amenities The coast line has some of the most stunning and dramatic views in Britain. Inland, especially in West Penwith, there is wild untamed beauty, characterised by outcrops of granite, moorland, ancient stones, Bronze Age villages, Neolithic field systems and deserted tin mines. The National Trust owns large parts of the region, including Chapel Carn Brae, only a mile away, the first hill in Britain! By car, you can reach the town of Penzance (6 miles) in just 10 minutes and the beautiful beach of Sennen Cove (2 1/2 miles) is 5 minutes away. Other approximate journey times are - St Ives- 25 minutes, Land's End, Mousehole and Newlyn-10 minutes, Truro City-40 minutes, Eden Project and Newquay-1hour.
