Charlestown Historic Harbour

historic

Cornwall's best-preserved Georgian pilchard fishing port, Charlestown has appeared in dozens of films and television productions — including Poldark and Hornblower — precisely because it has changed so little since it was built in 1801. The deep-water dock still shelters tall ships, and the Shipwreck, Rescue and Heritage Museum in the tunnels beneath the quay tells a gripping story of Cornwall's maritime past.
