Penzance had a population of around 20,700 at the 2021 census — mainland Britain's most westerly town, and one immortalised on the operatic stage.
The Most Westerly Town in Mainland Britain
Penzance is the most westerly major town in mainland Britain, a position that made it a natural centre for tin and copper exports in the 16th and 17th centuries after being granted a market charter in 1404. Its name reached a much wider audience in 1879, when Gilbert and Sullivan set their comic opera The Pirates of Penzance on the town's rocky shoreline, turning it into a byword for swashbuckling adventure.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Penzance's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
