Marazion is a small town in Cornwall. It is situated on Mount's Bay, with Penzance about 3 km to the west. It has a population of about 1,500 people (2012 estimate). Marazion is best known as the staging point for visits to St Michael's Mount.
Marazion received its town charter from King Henry III in 1257, the oldest charter of any town in Britain. It provided for the town to hold a market every Thursday.
Today Mazazion is a small charming town. According to German-born British scholar Sir Nikolaus Pevsner, the town center has cobbled pavements and old houses. There are a few notable historic buildings on the eastern side of town.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
