Penzance Railway Station serves the historic port town of Penzance in Cornwall and is the Southernmost railway station in Britain.
The station first opened in March 1852 by the West Cornwall Railway, with travel to and from London beginning in 1859. The station has since undergone several redevelopments beginning with a complete rebuild in 1876 by Great Western Railway. The station was replaced by much larger buildings and built in rock-faced granite designed by civil engineer William Lancester Owen. This was followed by a further expansion in the 1930s which resulted in building the current layout you can see today.
Penzance station facilities include free public WiFi, toilets including accessible toilets, a waiting room and a first-class lounge for those with the relevant ticket. There is a car park and bicycle parking available.
You can reach Penzance railway station from a range of locations across the UK, with Great Western Railway and CrossCountry both serving the station. Popular CrossCountry routes to Penzance include Birmingham to Penzance, Leeds to Penzance, Plymouth to Penzance, and even a direct route across the country from Aberdeen to Penzance – the longest direct train route in the UK.
Things to do in Penzance
Penzance is most famous for its pirates – more specifically, the singing kind as a result of Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic opera ‘The Pirates of Penzance’. While there are limited chances of you spotting a pirate today, there is plenty more to explore in this coastal town.
The Jubilee Pool is a must-visit when in Penzance and is the UK’s largest art deco seawater lido. Situated between the Promenade and the harbour, this triangular-shaped pool includes a main, a geothermal, and a learner pool. The geothermal pool is heated to 30-35 degrees Celsius by their geothermal system using heat pumps which are 410m deep. If swimming isn’t your thing, Jubilee Pool has its very own café, offering some of the best views in Penzance!
If history and culture are more your scene, then the Penlee House Gallery and Museum is the perfect place to discover new artists and explore exhibitions. While the museum allows you to explore archaeological findings covering 6000 years of history in west Cornwall. Other art galleries in the area include The Exchange, the Lighthouse Gallery and PZ Gallery.
For a more relaxed visit, why not spend your time exploring all the town has to offer. Discover historic buildings, including St Mary’s Church, with the site dating back to the 12th century, and Market House, a Grade I listed building. While wandering around town, why not visit one of the many local and national retailers? From small boutiques to small quirky shops, you’ll be sure to find the perfect souvenir. After a long day of sightseeing, why not round your day out with a delicious meal from one of the many restaurants and cafes serving locally sourced food.
