SITUATION Gwenmenhir is situated in a small rural cluster of properties enjoying a magnificent broad panorama across miles of open countryside.
Designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Penwith Peninsula remains largely unspoilt with a stunning landscape of rugged cliffs, steeply wooded valleys, small rocky fishing coves and truly wonderful sandy beaches. One of the nearest popular beaches is Sennen Cove where there is a good selection of restaurants, pubs and shops together with fine surfing and spectacular local scenery. This area of West Cornwall is also renowned for its rich cultural heritage with local attractions including the cliff top Minack Theatre at Porthcurno, various local galleries in Penzance and the Tate Gallery at St Ives.
The towns of St Just and Penzance are around 4 miles distant and offer a range of local amenities. Penzance forms the main commercial centre for the Lands End Peninsula with a main line railway station linking with London Paddington.
