PENRYN is one of Cornwall's most ancient and attractive towns, and has a wealth of charm, character and history. Situated at the head of the Penryn River it occupies a sheltered position and was a port of some significance with a history dating back well over a thousand years. Some of its buildings date back to Tudor, Jacobean and Georgian times.
Folk-lore and tradition go hand-in-hand with stories such as the Bohelland Tragedy - a sad tale of a family wiped out through greed; and the Tale of the Spaniard at Penryn, and the story of Thomas Pellow, who had numerous adventures in the east and was enslaved by a Sultan. Then there was the fate of Lady Jane Killigrew who was given refuge from her pursuers in Penryn. Two hundred years later one of her descendants was killed in a drunken brawl whilst defending her name!
With well-tended parks and gardens and play areas, Penryn is an ideal place to tarry a while and explore its delights, mysteries and beauty. Penryn people take a pride in their town and there is still a strong community spirit, and everyone is friendly and wanting to make your stay happy and memorable. Guided tours in the Falmouth and West Cornwall area can be arranged. Email JDunford@aol.com for more information.
