More than 600 vessels and 100 fishermen land up to 40 different species of fresh fish each day at Newlyn Harbour – including hake, turbot, mackerel and cuttlefish to name but a few.
The Fish Market comes to life at around 4am each morning when the graders and sorters organise the day’s catch by size and species to prepare it for auction.
Buyers arrive soon afterwards to gather around the rows of red boxes. The auction then begins and purchases are transported to fine dining eateries throughout Cornwall and beyond.

Get to the bottom of the hit-and-miss path to Porthcurno, and you’ll feel as though you’ve stumbled into the Mediterranean - steeply shelving powder-fine sand, an almost luminous blue sea and cliffs sheltering you from the sea breezes.

One of Cornwall’s most picturesque fishing villages, the strip of sand in the harbour can get quite busy in summer. The local kids enjoy pier jumping into the harbour. On the way into Mousehole from Penzance, there is a rocky strip of beach with a small pool in front of the Old Coastguard Hotel where you can while away the time exploring rock pools.

A lack of facilities make Prussia Cove a tranquil spot even at the height of summer, so if you can live without a beach cafe and loos, this is the one for you. The cove was home to one of Cornwall's most famous smugglers. In the 18th Century, John Carter, known as 'The King of Prussia', used the caves here to stash his smuggled goods. Parking is limited so it's best to get there early during summer. A great spot for snorkelling, the water is crystal clear here. Dogs are allowed year round.

Sightseeing
There's subtropical lushness around every corner at these stunning gardens on the banks of the Helford River. The views from the 18th Century house across the gardens to the river are not to be missed. Wend your way through camellia groves and chusan palms, woodlands and bamboo; meander alongside pools and streams, giant-leafed gunnera and hydrangeas, to emerge onto Trebah's private beach. Perfect for a swim and a picnic in summer. Not picnic weather? Head to the Planters Cafe (winner of the 2008 Cornwall Tourism Award for Popular Restaurant/Cafe of the Year) or have a browse in the gallery and plant shops. One of Cornwall's, if not England's, finest gardens.

This local landmark looks like something straight out of a fairytale; a medieval castle perched on top of a little tidal island, complete with cobbled streets and even its own harbour and gardens. At low tide, 'the Mount' can easily be reached on foot from Marazion town by way of a man-made granite causeway. Wait for high tide to take the lazy option and go by ferry. If you've got time to kill while you wait, you can enjoy the view across Mount's Bay with a pint in hand at The Godolphin Arms near the ferry departure point.
