Newlyn Harbour - Saturday 27 May

 

Our final stop on Thursday's tour in the west of Cornwall was Newlyn.  

Having driven along the coast road from Porthleven, admiring the calm water in Mounts Bay and St Michael's Mount, we parked on the hill in Newlyn near where Mum's paternal grandparents kept a shop when she was growing up.

 

Some views from this point have changed little over the years - the medieval Harbour wall in the foreground and slip.

 

Looking into the main part of the Harbour it is very busy with fishing boats ready to go out and larger ships to refrigerate and transport the fish.

 

Back at Treyarnon another beautiful sunset - this time viewed from the balcony of the cottage..

 

Then the following morning a bright fresh day, sunshine and an almost empty beach - a perfect start to a Bank Holiday Weekend for those starting their break.
