Newlyn is Cornwall’s largest fishing port, its working harbour landing more fish by value than any other in England and giving the town a genuinely unpolished, industrious character quite different from its more picturesque neighbours.
Beyond the harbour, Newlyn has a strong artistic heritage as home to the Newlyn School of painters, along with easy coast path access into Penzance in one direction and Mousehole in the other.
