Penryn Through Time
About Penryn
The town of Penryn stands in a sheltered position at the head of the Penryn river. Over the centuries which followed the settlement grew and became an important shipping port for Cornwall's tin and granite industries, so much so that it became known as the Granite Port. Retaining much of its historic past, including many buildings dating back to the Tudor, Jacobean and Georgian periods, the area has been designated as an important conservation area.
