Penlee Bowling Club
Penlee Bowls Club was established in 1919 on
an idyllic site, literally on the sea front, between Penzance
and Newlyn in West Cornwall. It was established by a group of
men from Newlyn as an alternative to the Penzance Bowls Club,
which had been established a few years earlier. There has
always been a keen, but friendly, rivalry between the Penlee
and Penzance clubs and several years ago the name of the club
was changed to Penlee (Newlyn) Bowling Club to reflect its
historic alliegiance.
Penlee is the most westerly bowls club in the
country and is situated in the Bolitho Gardens, half way
between Wherry Town, at the western end of Penzance Promenade,
and the Newlyn Art Gallery. It enjoys extensive views
across Mounts Bay to St. Michael's Mount, the Lizard Peninsula
and Newlyn. There is a pay and display car park at Wherry Town
and limited parking for the disabled at the entrance to
Bolitho Gardens, otherwise parking can usually be found in a
small area beside the boating lake, on Laregan Hill or on
Lidden Road. See the "Links" page for a street map of our
location.
