Newlyn
One of England's largest fishing harbors, where fishing boats, a fish market, and the Newlyn Art Gallery sit side by side. It is the best place to eat the freshest seafood.
Newlyn is Cornwall's busiest fishing port. After the early-morning fish market, which is closed to casual visitors, the fish shops and restaurants by the harbor sell that day's catch. In the late 19th century, the 'Newlyn School' painters worked here, depicting realistic scenes of fishermen. The Newlyn Art Gallery displays contemporary art, and a statue honoring fishermen stands by the harbor. Newlyn adjoins Penzance, about a 20-minute walk along the seafront.
