Self Catering Holidays in Penzance, Land End and Mousehole areas
Holidays near the Kenegie Manor Holiday Park and Surrounding Area
The entrance to the holiday park overlooks Mount's Bay, dominated by St Michael's Mount, a National Trust property which can be reached on foot by the causeway at low tide.
The town of Penzance is close by with a scattering of Art Galleries as well as all the usual shops, and some less usual ones too. (There are 3 supermarkets with petrol stations within about 2 miles of the park.) There is also a cinema and theatre in the town. About 9 miles away is the West Cornwall Shopping Park, just outside Hayle, an ut-of-town retail park with stores such as Next, M&S and Boots. The sea, of course is central to almost all Cornish holidays.
Surfing, wind-surfing, canoeing and kayaking, are all available, as well as many safe swimming beaches, including the nearest one to the holiday park at Long Rock, this side of Marazion.
Day trips to the Isles of Scilly may be taken on the Scillonian III which sails daily from Penzance harbour in Summer. Or take a boat trip for fishing or for sight-seeing from a different angle.
St Ives, a notable artist's paradise with the St Ives Tate and Barbara Hepworth's museum is only a few miles away. Newlyn Art Gallery is also well worth a visit. Do not miss a trip to the awe-inspiring open-air Minack Theatre near Porthcurnow.

Holidays in Mounts Bay, Penzance
Spectacular Lands End is about ten miles from Penzance; the world-famous Eden Project near St Austell is further away, but still readily accessible for a day visit. In the same direction, the Lost Gardens of Heligan can be visited too, whilst close at hand are the renowned Trengwainton Gardens (National Trust).
The Lizard Peninsula offers stunning land and sea-scapes, with its unusual serpentine rock, as well as a vast array of sea-birds. Choughs nest here, and have now spread along the South Cornish coast towards Land End. Birders must also visit the Hayle Estuary and the many other superb birding sites in the area. For walkers and hikers, the South West coastal footpath is well-known and easily reached in many places. Even if this does not appeal, do not miss a drive along the North Coast road between St Ives and St Just.
The engine houses of tin mines abound everywhere around here, and Geevor Mine in the Pendeen area provides a fascinating guided tour. Archaeologically, Cornwall is unique in having one of the country's best maintained Iron Age settlements in Chysauster (English Heritage), pretty well within walking distance of Kenegie Manor. Lanyon Quoit, an early Neolithic long barrow is close to the road between Madron and Morvah.
There are many Golf Courses in the area; at Cape Cornwall, Lelant and Praa Sands for example. Cornwall is renowned for both sandy and surfing beaches, and Sennen, close to Lands End, is an excellent example of both.
