Frequented by Pirates and Smuggler seven hundred and fifty years ago, the underground tunnel which secretly led them and their bounty from Penzance Harbour can still be seen from the pub’s courtyard today. The warm and friendly atmosphere makes The Turks Head an ideal place to enjoy a relaxing pint or glass of wine. Sample a wide range of local ales and ciders, or in keeping with the pub’s swashbuckling history there is a vast selection of rums available.
