Location

Ludgvan is a village and parish on high ground above Mounts Bay just 3 miles from the centre of Penzance. The parish church is dedicated to St Ludgvan and St Paul and dates mostly from the 14th and 15th century. As a point of interest there is a memorial within to the parents of Sir Humphrey Davy the inventor of the miners safety lamp.

The town has a rich seafaring heritage and its centre abounds with period buildings, artisan shops and a wide array of high street names and more specialised retailers along with national supermarkets. 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, fish market, restaurants, cinema and an excellent coffee shop. Within Penzance there are hotels, restaurants, cafés, museums, entertainment for all ages and a local hospital.

The beaches of Mounts Bay are very popular and a favoured destination for kite surfers, kayakers and paddle boarders.

Slightly further away on the way to Helston is Porthleven, now not only a spectacular harbour but a culinary hotspot with its incredible range of quality restaurants and an annual food festival.
