This fishing port in southwestern England's county of Cornwall rests along the sheltered Mount's Bay and is blessed with a mild climate year-round, as evidenced by the subtropical plants in Morrab gardens. Near Penzance is the town of St.Ives, a quaint place with a reputation as an artist's colony. Stroll through the tiny, cobblestone streets and visit a branch of London's famous Tate Gallery, housing European art. Across the Cornish countryside lies St. Michael's Mount, a small village with a castle where it is said that villagers sighted the saint during the 5th century. The 14th century structure you see today greatly resembles Mt. St-Michel in Normandy. Inside, view priceless artwork and rare antiques and enjoy views of beautiful Mount's Bay.
