Pengersick Castle
Praa Sands, Penzance, Cornwall TR20 9SJ Tel: 01736 762579
THE PAST
The Castle must have existed on this site since the Middle Ages.
It was rebuilt as a fortified Tudor Manor probably about 1500. It is the
surviving tower of this extensive dwelling which remains intact today.
The spacious newel stair is one of the best examples to be found anywhere.
The families that lived here were among the most celebrated
in the County and beyond. Their careers have given rise to the numerous
legends about Pengersick. Indeed it does appear that Fate has always taken
a hand in the destiny of those who have resided here. 
THE FUTURE
There is evidence of the existence of an apothocarian garden here in the
14th century. This would relate to the foundations of the earlier dwelling
and the site of a Chapel in process of investigation.
We plan to recreate the garden, using plants contemporary with the site and also to use the newly cleared land to establish a wild flower meadow with woodland walks, cultivating the species which would have flourished in earlier times In this sheltered outpost of the far west of Cornwall.
THE PRESENT
We always welcome visitors, though the nature of the building makes it
possible only to admit small numbers, strictly by appointment, and to
insist that children of all ages must be accompanied by a responsible
adult.
We hope that Fate will look kindly upon our tenure of Pengersick and that a visit will enable you to share its magic and mystery.

Holidays in Porthleven, Cornwall, offer a captivating blend of rugged coastline, working harbour charm, and laid-back village life. Nestled around a deep, natural harbour carved into serpentine rock cliffs, this picturesque fishing port retains an authentic character often lost in more tourist-driven towns. The village heart revolves around the inner harbour, where colourful fishing boats bob alongside sleek yachts, framed by granite quays and weathered stone cottages painted in soft coastal hues. The harbour mouth itself is dramatic – guarded by a sturdy Victorian pier and lighthouse, it witnesses powerful Atlantic swells crashing against the defences, especially thrilling during winter storms. Yet, on calmer days, the sheltered harbour beach becomes a sun-trap, perfect for paddling or building sandcastles. Beyond the harbour, explore winding, steep lanes lined with independent galleries showcasing local artists, cosy pubs serving fresh crab sandwiches and pints of Cornish ale, and bakeries fragrant with pasties.The surrounding area is equally enticing. Walkers are drawn to the South West Coast Path, offering breathtaking cliff-top vistas stretching towards Lizard Point or Praa Sands. Surfers find reliable breaks at nearby beaches like Praa Sands or Rinsey Cove. History buffs can explore ancient tin mines dotting the cliffsides or visit the imposing Godolphin Estate inland. Evenings bring stunning sunsets over the harbour, often enjoyed with fish and chips on the quay or seafood in a harbourside restaurant. Porthleven’s magic lies in its balance: a vibrant working port humming with activity, a haven for artists and foodies, and a gateway to Cornwall’s wild coastal beauty all wrapped in an atmosphere of genuine, unhurried charm. |
