Settled alongshore Mount’s Bay in Cornwall, Newlyn is home to the largest fishing port in England. The settlement began as early as 1279, though records show that the town was actually older and went by the name “Lulyn”, which, in the Cornish language, means “pool for a fleet of boats”. The town’s seaside remains as busy today as it was in the 1200s. It is still a popular destination for people who enjoy sailing, yachting, or simply spending time on the boardwalk. Newlyn is a fun holiday destination for those looking to spend some time by the waters.
