Penrose Cornwall Map

About Penrose

Penrose breathes the quietude of Cornwall's western reaches. It lies 6.3 km south-west of Padstow (from Padstow: bearing 219°T, OS grid SW 875 707), and is situated south-east of Porthcothan village. Here, the land slopes with a gentle, almost imperceptible grace towards the sea, and the air often carries the faint, briny tang of the Atlantic. The cottages of Penrose huddle together as if sharing secrets against the open sky, their slate roofs warmed by a sun that seems to linger a little longer in these parts. A palpable sense of continuity pervades the village, a quiet testament to generations who have tended the soil and weathered the coastal winds. The very stones of the older buildings seem to hold the memory of the sea's ceaseless murmur, a constant, soothing counterpoint to the rustle of hedgerows.
