Description
Two of the many iconic buildings in Porthleven, the Bickford Smith Institute and the Ship Inn, a 17th century pub which overlook one of the most picturesque harbours in the country.
Porthleven in Cornwall once had a fleet of more than 100 drifters used to fish pilchard and mackerel. The unspoiled fishing village with its picturesque double harbour is protected by massive harbour walls and surrounded by fascinating old buildings. As the most southerly working port in the United Kingdom the harbour faces south west into the prevailing wind and during winter storms the waves crash over the sea defences attracting visitors to the town to watch, hear and taste the salty sea.
