Locations in Newlyn

• Newlyn harbour is the largest fishing port(by turnover >£18 million 2004) in England. The fishing fleet boasts a number of different catching methods: beam trawling, trawling, gill netting, potting and a large number of under 10m vessels that fish inshore. The port was a major catcher of pilchards until the 1960s. Today, a handful of vessels have resumed pilchard fishing and use a modern version of the ring net. The largest vessels are beam trawlers owned by the Stevenson family. Most of the other vessels are owned by their skippers.

• Sandy Cove is the name given to the small bay immediately south of the harbour wall.
