LOCATION

Situated less than two miles to the north of Penzance, the historic village of Madron is home to the beautiful 15th Century Church of St Maddern and is a haven for walkers as it is surrounded by moorland, much of it on higher ground with spectacular views of Mounts Bay, St Michael’s Mount and The Lizard on the south coast and the rugged splendour of the cliffs and the Atlantic ocean to the north. The village has a school, public house and historic church whilst the neighbouring village of Heamoor offers a bakers, general store, fish and chip shop and pharmacy.
