Newlyn Harbour

Drop anchor off England's largest fishing port by tonnage and you'll get a front-row seat to one of Cornwall's most working, unpolished harbours — trawlers coming and going, the smell of salt and fish in the air. It's a genuinely busy, industrial scene that feels a world away from the touristy spots up the coast, with the artists' town of Newlyn itself and neighbouring Penzance just a short hop ashore.
