Penlee House Gallery and Museum
artsHome to the finest collection of Newlyn School paintings outside London, Penlee House is essential viewing for anyone interested in the golden age of Cornish art. The gallery displays works by Stanhope Forbes, Walter Langley and their contemporaries — luminous scenes of fishing life that capture a vanished world with extraordinary tenderness. Set in a public park, it's also a peaceful place to wander.

Jubilee Pool
leisureThe largest seawater lido in Britain, Penzance's art-deco Jubilee Pool opened in 1935 and occupies a dramatic triangular site on the promenade jutting into Mount's Bay. The pool was severely damaged by storms in 2014 and rebuilt by community fundraising; one section now operates as a year-round geothermally heated pool. Swimming here with St Michael's Mount visible across the bay is an experience unlike any other.
