  Nestling into the hillside high above the ancient fishing harbour of Newlyn, this delightful and stylish apartment commands one of the finest sea views in Britain. Relaxing on the private balcony of Hanas Mor (Cornish for Sea Murmur) you are treated to the breathtaking vista of the entire crescent of Mounts Bay which stretches from The Lizard Peninsula in the east to the fishing village of Mousehole in the far west. The centre piece of the bay being the iconic island of St Michael’s Mount which dominates the skyline and is often floodlit at night.

  Recently refurbished to a very comfortable standard, this beautifully appointed property also benefits from under floor heating in the bathroom and kitchen which makes it an ideal choice for an out of season break or to just relax and charge those batteries! The apartment has a pretty little patio area which is ideal for that glass of chilled wine as the sun goes down over the fishing fleet in Newlyn.  Hanas Mor forms part of the owner’s property but is completely self contained and therefore quite private. The ancient port of Newlyn is steeped in history as the old quay was the last landfall of the Mayflower as she took on water before her historic voyage to America in 1620. Guests are able to explore the maze of narrow cobbled streets and alleyways that meander through the heart of this old maritime village and also to sample some of the finest fresh fish and seafood in the world that can be eaten in the various fish restaurants in the locality or purchased direct from the fishmongers.

  Please note that Hana Mor is currently undergoing a complete refurbishment for the ensuing season.

  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.
