Newlyn is located one mile west of Penzance, the fishing port of Newlyn is home to the largest fleet of fishing boats in the South of England and the landing
of fish at the market on the quay makes a significant contribution to the local economy. The village, which is joined to the western end
of Penzance, does retain its own separate identity. It is clustered around the harbour, with both its old quay curling around a few small boats on the
western side and the much larger quays in the centre and on the eastern side of the harbour, against which are often moored the many trawlers,
long-liners and other members of the fishing fleet. With over 40 acres of harbour able to take in boats at any stage of the tide, it is a hub of activity.
Following the extension of the Great Western Railway to West Cornwall in1877, Newlyn and St Ives both
began to attract artists, drawn by the beauty of the scenery, quality of light, simplicity of life and drama of the sea. A great place to visit.
