Shopping
Be sure to visit Chapel Street when you’re in Penzance. It has a few good independent shops and galleries and some well-preserved houses from the town’s more prosperous days. Stroll the side streets and parks of Penzance, it’s a special place that’s much more interesting than the two main shopping streets suggest.
We always encourage guests to try really local and Penzance is the obvious main choice for a big shop and offers a good range of local shops as well as the belt of supermarkets that you’ll pass driving out of the area. For a local grocery delivery please try The Cornish Food Box
