About

Penzance South encompasses the historic core of this port town, centred around the harbour and Market House. The area features a mix of Georgian and Victorian architecture lining its streets, leading down to the working docks. Chapel Street is a notable thoroughfare, containing several listed buildings. The promenade extends along the seafront, providing views across Mount's Bay towards St Michael's Mount, which lies offshore from the neighbouring parish of Marazion.

Immediately west lies Newlyn, a distinct fishing port connected along the coastal road. It is home to one of the largest fish markets in England, with its harbour filled with trawlers and smaller vessels. The area has a strong artistic heritage linked to the Newlyn School of painters. The working waterfront is dominant, with granite piers and fish processing facilities defining its character, separate from the more tourist-focused elements of central Penzance.
