Newlyn

Occupying a handsome Arts and Crafts building at the heart of one of Britain's oldest fishing communities, Newlyn Art Gallery shows ambitious contemporary exhibitions alongside work rooted in the West Cornish tradition. The town itself gave its name to the celebrated Newlyn School of artists who settled here in the 1880s, drawn by the quality of the Atlantic light.

Newlyn Harbour is one of those Cornish places that works both as a base and as an attraction in its own right, with enough character to justify a detour near Newlyn. Harbour life, local food, sea air and the surrounding walks usually matter as much as any single sight.
