Er bezeichnet somit die südwestliche Spitze der Insel Großbritannien. Verwaltungssitz war die Stadt Penzance. Der Bezirk wurde am 1. April 1974 gebildet und entstand aus der Fusion der Boroughs Penzance und St Ives, des Urban District St Just und des Rural District West Penwith. Am 1. April 2009 wurden neben Penwith auch alle weiteren Districts in Cornwall abgeschafft und in einer einzigen Unitary Authority vereinigt. Seit 1974 unterhält Penwith eine Partnerschaft mit der deutschen Stadt Cuxhaven.

  • Penwith (kornisk Pennwydh, som betyr «Verdens ende») er en halvøy og et administrativt distrikt i Cornwall, England. Det er fastlands-Englands vestligste distrikt. Distriktsrådet sitter i Penzance. Andre byer er St. Ives, Hayle og Land's End. Det er 303,56 km² stort, og har et befolkningstall på 63 924. Penwith har stort sett et røft kystlandskap, men også en rekke fine strender som gjør halvøya til et populært turistmål. Turisme er en viktig næringsvei, spesielt etter at gruveindustri og fisking ikke gikk nedover i lønnsomhet. Innlandet er et mineralrikt platå, der det i mange århundrer har vært drevet gruver. Det ligger mange ruiner av gruvebygninger i landskapet. Det er gjort flere interessante arkeologiske funn fra jernalderen og romano-britisk tid.
