You may have noticed significant work underway at Newlyn’s Old Harbour. This essential groundwork is paving the way for an exciting community project to revitalize one of the UK’s oldest documented fishing harbors.

By restoring this historic site, we aim to:

• Preserve our maritime heritage: Honor our past and inspire future generations.
• Create a vibrant community hub: Offer a space for locals and visitors to gather, learn, and enjoy the coast.
• Support sustainable livelihoods: Foster a new generation of skilled boatbuilders and sailors.
