Directions
When you reach Penzance stay on the A30 and follow the signs for Land's End. Approximately 3 miles outside Penzance take the left turn signposted to the Minack. Drive through St. Buryan and continue (watching out for the hairpin bend!) until you see a left turn signposted to Porthcurno. Drive down into the valley - turn left immediately BEFORE the tennis courts (if you miss this turning the next left will take you into the beach car park so you will need to turn around and come back). The parking for Mercury House is adjacent to the building. Please ensure you do not park in the Zodiac House car park - this parking is all allocated to the building across the road - the owners of these properties are so fed up with other people parking in their spaces that they will deliberately block you in so that you can't get out (which can be very inconvenient). There are no marked out parking spaces at Mercury House so please park carefully to allow for 5 cars in total i.e. one per flat. If you have more than one car then, if all the flats are occupied, you may have to park the second one in the beach car park for which there will be a charge.
