Situated just one mile east of the market town of Marazion, and a short four miles east of Penzance sits the quaint village of Goldsithney. A holiday in Goldsithney provides a tranquil and convenient base camp for exploring the Penzance area, offering a variety of Cornish delights on the doorstep.
Goldsithney is a quaint, peaceful and attractive village, steeped in history and furnished with an assortment of charming granite cottages. At the heart of the village are two pubs – the Trevelyan Arms and the Crown Inn nestled within a stone's throw of one another. Both pubs provide cosy traditional Cornish charm, winning excellent reviews for both delicious food and friendly atmosphere. The Goldsithney local store is packed with homemade and local produce, providing everything you need for easy meals in your cottage kitchen. Plus lots of goodies for your picnic when out exploring the area.
If you are fortunate enough to holiday in Goldsithney in August, then sample the delights of the annual Charter Fayre, a tradition dating back to the 12th Century. Today the Charter Fayre comprises a procession through the village, lots of music, gaiety and family fun. During the day, the village green is turned over to celebration with a beer tent, dog show, local arts and crafts, family games and live music.
Your stay in Goldsithney would not be complete without a trip to the local beach of Perranuthnoe, which is just under a mile to the south of the village. Perranuthnoe beach really is a hidden gem, combining soft golden sands and clear turquoise waters with plentiful rock-pools for the family to explore. Be sure to visit at low tide, as during high tide the sea comes very close to the cliff edge, making the beach inaccessible.
If rock-pooling and sunbathing has worked up an appetite, then head to the local Cabin Beach restaurant. Renowned for its good food and warm hospitality, the dog-friendly restaurant offers splendid sea views across the bay.
For lovers of walking, cycling and scenery, Goldsithney is conveniently close to the South West Coast Path which stretches for miles to the east and west. It’s a wonderful walking route from which you can explore the breathtaking views of the Lizard Heritage coastline and Mount’s Bay.
Just over a mile to the south-west of Goldsithney sits the coastal town of Marazion, one of the oldest towns in Britain. Boasting two glorious sandy beaches, Marazion is a haven for visitors who are looking to enjoy the multitude of watersports including sailing, kayaking and paddleboarding.
The town itself provides a delightful assortment of pubs, restaurants and galleries. It is home to a local community of artists with works available from many of the town’s independent shops.
At low tide, a narrow causeway connects the town of Marazion to St Michael’s Mount, arguably one of Cornwall’s most iconic landmarks. Perched atop the Mount at 230 feet above sea level sits the castle, complete with tower and battlements providing breathtaking views across the bay. The Mount is open to visitors who can sample the delights of the castle, gardens shops and a restaurant. St Michael’s Mount is accessible by the causeway at low tide, or via a ferry boat.
For nature lovers, a trip just to the east of Goldsithney takes you to RSPB’s Marazion Marshes, a freshwater habitat that has become home to a host of rare water birds.
Whatever your preference, be it relaxation, heritage, nature or activities, a holiday in Goldsithney places you at the heart of the Cornish experience.
