Around and About...

Harbour View has superb views of the bustling Newlyn harbour in the foreground, giving an interesting and endlessly changing picture, extending to St Michael’s Mount, Mounts Bay, and round to the Lizard.

Newlyn is England’s largest fishing port and home of the historic Newlyn painting School. It has a wonderfully friendly community spirit with plenty of colourful characters and pubs and attractions.

West Cornwall is an area of outstanding natural beauty and has many fine sandy beaches and rocky coves. The scenery varies from wooded valleys to wild moorland and rugged cliffs. It is an area rich in history with stone circles and megaliths, and the engine houses of the tin-mining era. It is famous for its art galleries, festivals, craft shops and potteries as well as its splendid sub-tropical gardens.

Local places of interest include St Michael’s Mount, Land’s End, Sennen, St Ives, the Lizard, the Helford River, the Tate Gallery (St Ives), the Minack Theatre (Porthcurno), and many small picturesque villages such as Mousehole and Lamorna just down the road. Penzance is also the departure point for the Isles of Scilly either by boat, helicopter or by air from Land’s End.
