  The name Harbour View needs no introduction, suffice to say that this charming little property commands stunning views over the ancient fishing port of Newlyn, Penzance and St. Michael's Mount twinkling in the distance. Located within a small, private development of similar properties, Harbour View is a beautiful town house which has been designed to ensure that the glorious view is the most important aspect of the property and can be seen from the master bedroom and the lounge. An additional benefit to this property is the traffic free environment and private parking.

  Available for rent throughout the year, you are guaranteed an ever changing canvas from Harbour View which can range from an icy force nine gale blasting in from the Atlantic during the depths of winter or just quietly watching the bustling port of Newlyn on a balmy summer evening as it goes about its nocturnal business. Completely renovated for the ensuing season, this property has been furnished to a very comfortable standard and is ideally suited to a young family or for a couple who require the extra space and a little solitude! The child friendly beaches of Mounts Bay are but a short drive, together with the regional hub of Penzance with its air and sea links to the famous sub tropical Isles of Scilly, gourmet restaurants, pubs and shops.

  Located just a mile west of Penzance, the ancient fishing port of Newlyn is home to one of the largest fishing fleets in the South of England. The seemingly constant bustle and activity of the port gives visitors a fascinating glimpse into this frequently dangerous industry that has been a mainstay of the community since the early 16th century; enormous ocean going beam trawlers, long liners and crabbers that often stay at sea for weeks on end, dwarf the dozens of small open boats that fish for mackerel from hand lines in the Bay. Visitors are able to browse in the many wet fish shops that abound in the area and sample some of the finest fresh fish and seafood in the world. On a road leading back from the harbour is the Pilchard Museum which is now closed however, there is still a cottage industry showcasing just how this small, yet so vital, fish is still processed and packed for shipment all over the world.

  Nestled behind the main road that runs around the harbour and connects neighbouring Penzance and Mousehole, are an enchanting maze of numerous small streets and donkey-wide alleys, many with traditional, if highly unusual, names: The Fradgan, Gwavas Quay and Bowjey Hill, to name but three. Looking down on the harbour, the invariably white-painted or granite fisherman's cottages and traditional pubs are found side by side. Tucked away amid streets often too steep and too narrow for a car to navigate - all just waiting to be discovered! Newlyn is synonymous with one of Britain's great art movement's, the Newlyn School. The movement flourished during the late nineteenth century, and with Newlyn very much at its focus, inspired artists to capture the area on canvas. The skill and craftsmanship of the paintings by the Newlyn School is celebrated at Penlee House, also home to the historic collections of Penzance Town Council, Penwith District Council and the Newlyn Art Gallery.

  Off the promenade leading from Penzance into Newlyn is the Orion Gallery which exhibits the work of a wide variety of artistic talent, with particular emphasis on the work, past and present, of local artists in both contemporary and traditional fields. While small, it has a reputation belying its size and is well known around the world.

  It is well worth visiting The Old Quay in Newlyn Harbour which was the last British landfall of The Mayflower in 1620, when she arrived in the port to take on water before sailing to America with the pilgrims.
