Battery Rocks are a rocky headland to the south of the harbour of Penzance, Cornwall, UK.[1]
The rocks take their name from a gun battery that was situated there from 1740, following a petition by Penzance Borough council for protection from French naval attacks. The rocks are the setting for the Penzance war memorial, which is built on the battery, and the restored Grade II Listed Jubilee Pool, an art deco lido, one of the very few surviving and described in the listing notes as one of the finest examples.[2] People swim from the rocks daily throughout the year.
