Penberth

Penberth is a valley, coastal village and cove on the Penwith peninsula in Cornwall, England. Approximately seven miles (11 km) southwest of Penzance, this small settlement occupies a narrow fold in the landscape where land meets sea. Most of the village lies within the parish of St Buryan, while the parish boundary with St Levan follows the course of the Penberth river. The setting — a valley opening to a cove — gives Penberth a distinct sense of place on the far western edge of Cornwall. Visitors seeking a quiet moment by the water or a walk along the coast will find a village that reads clearly on maps of the Penwith peninsula: defined by its geography and its relationship to nearby parishes and Penzance. Penberth’s identity is shaped by the river that runs through it and the cove where the valley meets the sea, making it an unmistakable corner of Cornwall’s rugged southwestern landscape.
