Penzance is the westernmost major town in Cornwall — the end of the A30 and the last significant stop before Land’s End. It sits on the north shore of Mount’s Bay in the Penwith peninsula, with views across to St Michael’s Mount. The town has a working harbour, a distinct Regency seafront, and a strong local character that’s a world away from the polished tourist towns further up the coast.
Motorhome Stopover Club members share verified stopovers in and around Penzance — overnight stops here give you easy access to the Minack Theatre, the Penwith moorland, and the coastal villages of Mousehole and Newlyn without fighting summer traffic from a campsite further east.
