Description
Tucked away near Falmouth on the south coast of Cornwall lies Mylor Yacht Harbour.
The marina sits on a creek edge off the Fal Estuary, amid some of the West Country’s finest scenery and sheltered sailing.
Mylor has a significant maritime history, with the original boatyard being purchased by the Royal Navy in 1805 to maintain its ships. American sailors were based here during the Second World War, and it was the port for the French Resistance. The creek is still home to dozens of traditional oyster boats, still only permitted to operate under sail.
