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
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
