3.13 Exploring the local area
Our Penryn Campus is situated in the lively coastal community of Penryn, near Falmouth, with coast and countryside on the doorstep, a vibrant social atmosphere and beautiful natural resources. Cornwall boasts a wealth of beautiful beaches and coves, dramatic landscapes and clifftop views. It also has a rich history of artistic and scientific innovation, making it a fascinating and stimulating place to study.
Cornwall can easily be explored by bus, train, car, foot or bike. During their time in Cornwall, most students take the opportunity to explore this beautiful county, from Newquay and St Ives down to Penzance and The Lizard. However, there’s also plenty to do right on the doorstep in Penryn, Falmouth and Truro.
