The third largest fishing port in England and an important Port of Refuge for all seafaring craft, Newlyn boasts plenty of maritime history well-worth exploring, with its beautiful harbour and 800 year old quay making a lovely spot for a morning stroll where you can watch the boats bobbing in the water, followed by a hearty brunch in one of the waterside eateries, or pick up some produce from one of the local shops to enjoy a home-cooked breakfast back at the cottage.
Visit the town's famed Newlyn School of Art where you can take a course on how to best capture the beautiful landscapes of the area or join either the Cornwall Coastal Path or the Mousehole to Marazion Cycle Path passing through to explore the wonder of the coast up close, with wildlife such as sharks, dolphins, and grey seals to spot too.
The beach is within walking distance too for those seeking a traditional seaside experience, while Penwith is the perfect place for watersports and surf fishing for sea bass.
