Newlyn is a seaside town and fishing port south of Penzance looking out to Mount's Bay. There is a busy harbor with a large fleet of fishing boats that land the fish for local restaurants. Newlyn is also famous for being the birthplace of the Newlyn School of Art, that drew in famous artists like Walter Langley, Norman Garstin, and Laura Knight and this rich history of art continues today. Newlyn has several art galleries, traditional Cornish pubs and is really well know for the excellent seafood restaurants, a great place to visit if you are a foodie.! It’s also home to the annual Newlyn Fish Festival that takes place on August Bank Holiday, celebrating the fishermen with food, music and festivities.
Penzance is just a short walk away and the picturesque village of Mousehole a decent walk along the scenic South West Coastal Path with great views of St Michael’s Mount. There is a decent selection of holiday homes in Newlyn from traditional fishermens cottages and larger holiday homes plus a selection in the surrounding villages. There are also lodge and caravan parks in nearby Penzance if you need to view a wider selection of accommodation. A great place, Newlyn still has lots of character, rough around the edges, this is real Cornwall!
