LOCATION Long Barn is found in one of the most highly regarded areas of Penzance, surrounded by other grand period buildings and a surprisingly large amount of trees and open space. The seafront and harbour are only a short walk away as is the salt water Jubilee Bathing Pool. Penzance is considered the capital of West Cornwall and is at the end of the Penzance to Paddington main railway line with direct trains to London. The town has a rich seafaring heritage and its centre abounds with period buildings which now house a wide array of high street names and more specialised retailers. The area is also famous for its arts and there are many galleries in Penzance and neighbouring Newlyn which also has a large and colourful fishing fleet. Within Penzance there are many hotels, restaurants, cafés, museums, a hospital and both state and private education, including the nearby Bolitho school. West Cornwall is known for its rugged beauty and is surrounded by the South West Coast Path which leads over dramatic cliff tops and large sandy beaches. Just to the east of Penzance is the village of Marazion and St Michael’s Mount which can be accessed by foot across a causeway at low tide. There are many other sandy beaches including Perran Sands to the east, whilst to the far west is Sennen Cove and Whitesand Bay near Land’s End, a two mile long stretch of beautiful white sands beside a picturesque harbourside village that is renowned for surfing. To the south is Mousehole which attracts people from all over Europe to see its harbourside lights at Christmas and about 20 minutes drive to the north is the resort and surfing town of St Ives which is considered to have the best light for painting in Britain as it reflects off the waters of the four mile wide St Ives Bay.
