Artists retreat

Penzance is as close as you can be to the artistic heart of Cornwall. within walking distance or a short drive are Penlee House and the renowned artist colony of Newlyn, while 8 miles away at St Ives you can visit working artists, buy paintings at source and relish the Tate and the Barbara Hepworth sculpture garden.

If you've never been this far west before you will be captivated by the light which has drawn generations of artists to this area and understand what made them stay.
