Description
Newlyn is famous as the home of the Newlyn School of Art which was established here in the late 19th century and is today a charming harbourside town with its own Cornish fishing fleet.
The harbour has been in existence for hundreds of years and was already in operation by 1400s. Added to over time, in the 1880s the huge jetties were built which now enclose the harbour.
Newlyn is the home of The Tidal Observatory. The observatory was founded to identify the mean sea level that forms the starting point for levelling in the whole UK. This brass bolt is the benchmark for the whole of the United Kingdom. All heights are referenced to this point.
