LOCATION ‘At Zennor one sees infinite Atlantic, all peacock mingled colours and the gorse is sunshine itself. Zennor is a most beautiful place: a tiny granite village nestling under high shaggy moor hills and a big sweep of lovely sea beyond, such a lovely sea, lovelier even than the Mediterranean….. It is the best place I have been in, I think’ – D. H. Lawrence, 1916. 4 Ref: LCAA7509 Pit Pry is situated above and just behind the village of Zennor in a superb elevated position maximising the views which are both dramatic and unspoilt. Zennor lies on the north Cornish coast about 6 miles to the north of Penzance and the village is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with glorious and dramatic countryside all around. The village itself is unspoilt with a number of lovely houses and the church of St Senara dating back to the 13th Century. Within the village is the Grade II Listed Tinner’s Arms public house dating back to the early 18th Century and D. H. Lawrence was reputed to have stayed here before renting The Tower House. The coastline around Zennor is arguably some of the finest in the South West with a beautiful coast path enjoying spectacular scenery and walks between Penzance and St Ives. To many people this is Cornwall at its most rugged and finest making the opportunity to own a home such as Pit Pry that much more special. Penzance is considered the capital of West Cornwall and is located about 10 miles from the village of Zennor and there is a mainline railway station between Penzance and Paddington. The town itself has a rich seafaring heritage and its centre abounds with period buildings which now house a wide array of high street names and more specialised retailers. 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. Within Penzance there are hotels, restaurants, cafés, museums, education for all ages and a hospital. West Cornwall is known for its rugged beauty with dramatic cliff tops to sheltered coves and larger sandy beaches. To the east of Penzance is the village of Marazion and St Michael’s Mount which can be accessed by foot across a causeway at low tide. There are many sandy beaches including Praa Sands to the east, whilst to the west is Sennen Cove and Whitsand Bay near Lands End, a 2 mile long stretch of beautiful white sands beside the picturesque harbourside village that is renowned for surfing. To the south is Mousehole which attracts people from all over Europe to see its harbourside lights at Christmas. The world renowned resort and surfing town of St Ives to the east along the coast road is considered to have the best light for painting in Britain as it reflects off the waters of the 4 mile wide St Ives Bay.
