Penzance Harbour

© Situated a stone's throw from the larger town of Penzance, Newlyn is home to one of the largest fishing fleets in the United Kingdom, with over 40 acres of harbour. The industry is one of the most important in the county, contributing millions of pounds to the Cornish economy each year. All sorts of fishing vessels can be seen in the harbour - beam trawlers, long liners, crabbers and even small open boats used for hand-lining for mackerel in the Bay. Fun fact; the port was sacked and torched by a Spanish raiding party in the 16th century, then rebuilt. Today, very little of old Newlyn remains. Many of the white painted or stone faced granite cottages, separated by steep, narrow alleys, were only saved from demolition be the outbreak of the Second World War. The medieval harbour walls are dwarfed by the hundred year old walls of the North and South Piers.

Amazing ride with stunning scenery!

Fantastic bus ride through stunning scenery! A great treat after walking a portion of the SW Coast Path. I cannot recommend this route enough for the views alone, and even better it is included in the Cornwall day pass (just £5 for unlimited bus travel throughout Cornwall for a day). This is an amazing route!

Weather bad, trip great

We caught the 10.30 from Penzance and stayed on for the round trip. Driver, views and everything was great. An added bonus was we could use our freedom passes. Thank you

Great views from the top deck

I used this bus to walk sections of the coast path last year. It was brilliant and with a day rover ticket I could catch other buses, on a range of routes, back to St Ives or Penzance. I managed to walk all the way from Hayle to St Michael’s Mount this way (over a few months). Then back across country, St Michaels Mount to Lelant on the St Michaels Way.

Great for walking the coast path

I’ve used the Atlantic Coaster several times whilst walking on the South West coast path. Its fantastic for enabling linear walks back to your car. The route through small villages and past little coves is an absolute delight on a sunny day.
