The Location - Penryn is a small and historic port on the south coast of Cornwall, chartered in 1236. During the 19th Century, the town was known for the export of granite, used in such buildings as the Bank of England and many of the country’s lighthouses. The town is home to Penryn Campus, a large university campus occupied by two institutions – Falmouth University and the University of Exeter. Over recent years, the area has thrived due to a significant increase in student population, in turn, having a positive impact on local businesses. The scenic Helford River is a short drive away, with areas such as Falmouth, Truro and Helston within close proximity making this attractive town a perfect place for those seeking a quieter lifestyle, whilst being conveniently close to the liveliness of larger towns.
