First and Last – Our Living Working Landscape
Welcome to the Penwith Landscape Partnership
The Penwith Landscape Partnership was formed in 2014 by a group of community organisations and individuals who came together with a shared aim to support the understanding, conservation and enhancement of the Penwith Landscape as a sustainable living, working landscape.
The partnership's delivery phase finished in September 2023 with a legacy steering group forming to collaborate on future opportunities. The group consists of CASPN, Cornwall AONB, Cornwall Council, Cornwall Heritage Trust, Cornwall Wildlife Trust and National Trust.
This website is a collection of information on what the partnership did along with opportunities to explore West Penwith further.

Our projects
The Penwith Landscape Partnership consisted of several projects aimed at conserving and enhancing this unique landscape through the First and Last – Our Living Working Landscape programme.
