    Penzance Railway Station - View from the Paddington train

    Penzance Railway Station

    If you have ants in your pen, they're Pen's Ants. Or maybe they're just pirates. But not Pittsburgh…read morePirates, because they don't play that sport in this part of the world. Penzance railway station is the end of the line - and a very long line at that. If you're coming in from Bristol or even London, this is your final Terminus. Which is weird because there's plenty of land west of here that isn't really covered. My visits to Penzance (2 by rail, 1 by road) have been mystical and memorable. It's beautiful down here and it feels like the end of the world. Penzance is very much worth a visit. A port town and an old Cornish town. It's a lovely little town and it has a nice and definitely adequate railway station. I'll probably keep coming here in future as well, and will bring people here with me in future. It has a beautiful large red roof and looks like a much bigger station than you'd expect in a smaller town like Penzance. It is the southernmost station in the UK. The longest direct train in the UK is Aberdeen to Penzance which can take over 14 hours and takes more than 12 at the best of times. See, the UK is a little bigger than you thought? And you know what else is bigger than you thought? Yeah.

    It's probably easier being an end of the line station (as this station has been for over 150 years…read morenow!). There is only one direction in and one direction out. This makes for quite a simple station, which I bet is appreciated by travelers. Certainly beats the chaos of a city station. Great location, as you pull into Penzance, alongside the sea, with St Michael's mount in the distance. Its's certainly a prime location with the sea one side and the main shopping street on the other. Plenty of parking around too. If you want to keep your eye open for a train, a nearby hotel has a webcam that points out onto the station platforms.

    We have been going to Mevagissey for years and find this is the best car park for avoiding the…read moretraffic, only a 200 yard level walk from the harbour. It is attended from April to November giving you a nice feeling of security, unlike the 'park in a field' option on the right on the way into the village. Prices are reasonable, with discount tickets for weekly parking if you are renting a cottage in the village. The service was excellent, they have larger spaces for motorhomes (you pay a little more for them), and very helpful, knowledgeable staff (thanks Matthew!). A pleasant surprise in this day and age!

    On Monday 20th Sept 2010 I arrived at this car park and to say the least was verbally abused by a…read moremember of the gate staff, I am ambulant disabled and as I approached the gate noticed that like most other parking in Cornwall Blue Badge holders have to pay for parking unless car is tax exempt. I have no problem or issue with having to pay as I was in a rental car not my own mobility,on asking the gate staff do you have any disabled parking at which I was no told no in a short sharp maner.I then asked sorry I mean specific parking bays and the answer came back no we don't and if we gave a space to everyone who was disabled we wouldn't have any spaces for normal people. I like many others did not choose to be disabled but to get abuse from a able bodied pensioner who doing at best a poor job in public relations, really upsets me.I for 1 will nevr use this parking area again and would warn other disabled about the attitude of some of the staff.
