About Newlyn
Newlyn is the 4th largest fishing port in Britain (population 4,400 in 2011). It was the first home of the Newlyn School of Art, which has re-located to Penlee House inPenzance. Mousehole(pronounced Mow-zel by most people, although some locals do say mouse-hole!) is about a 45-min walk away along a good footpath with magnificent views of St Michael's Mount and the huge expanse of Mount's Bay. This charming little place is everyone's idea of a Cornish harbour. A short walk uphill goes to Paul where there is a fine church and a memorial to Dolly Pentreath, reputed last speaker of the Cornish language. The King's Arms pub in Paul was once used by Prince Felix Yusupov, who murdered Grigori Rasputin! An excellent book about this area isPeople & Places in Paul Parishby Jim Hosking.
