Pensans A'Gas Dynergh

Penzance has a population of around 19,000, a seaport, heliport and main line railway terminus with daily train services to destinations throughout Britain + an overnight sleeper train to London.

The name Penzance (Pensans) (A Cornish Word) translates loosely into English as saint's (or holy) headland - pen being cornish for head & sans saint, this is similar to another cornish word absorbed into the english lanuage: penquin which is white head - qwyn being cornish for white

One of the most noticeable things about Penzance is that its still a Conish town with a strong sense of community and a relaxed friendly pace of life, its also a centre of culture, art & humour. Its also home to the Cornish Pirates rugby team.

Penzance harbour is a busy little port - it is used by local fishing vessels & the Isles of Scilly Steamship company who operate both a passenger ferry & a freight vessel.

The penzance dry dock & local marine engineering companies generate repair and fit out activity both in the dry dock & the floating harbour with ship & trawler repair & luxury yacht conversion

The Best Beaches In Dorset

With the growing credit crunch, it is becoming economically more attractive to stick to the British Isles for a summer holiday. There's the sea and sand of an Italian beach and is accessible by car. One place in particular is the Dorset coastline: shingle, sand and pebble-beaches are backed by stunning, overhanging cliff; ideal for walking and fossil hunting, and usually close to some of the best places to eat in the region.

Paris Louvre

Paris is a remarkable city. With a history of poets and philosophers, artists and a cinematic-cool, it has much to see and experience in the way of Left Bank arts and culture, and the Louvre museum perhaps takes centre-stage as the city's iconic attraction. Paris Louvre cont >>

Cornwall's Surf Spots

Cornwall has long been a well-reputed surf-spot for Europeans longing for that Malibu-style Atlantic swell without the long expensive flight across the pond. Happily, Cornwall rivals Californian shores; the same Atlantic low pressure influences both. The low pressure creates the bigger swell, which makes for better waves Cornwall's Surf Spots cont >>>
