Porthleven

Porthleven with its historic harbour is beautifully situated in the middle of Mounts Bay, therefore it is ideal for visiting sites like Lands End, St. Michael's Mount and the Lizard peninsula.

One mile to the east of Porthleven lies Loe Pool, a large freshwater lake separated from the sea by a sand bar which occurred after a great storm. Legend says that King Arthur's sword 'Excalibur' lies at the bottom of the lake.

Porthleven's location is also a great starting point for West Cornwall's major market towns like Penzance, Truro, Helston and Falmouth. Its long history with the sea can be found almost anywhere, as Mount's Bay is littered with wrecks of boats from all era's, the treacherous rocks, reefs and violent winter storms all playing their part in the disastrous fate of many ships.

Smuggling was also big business in this part of Cornwall and the countless coves and caves made Mount's Bay the perfect place to smuggle wine, tobacco and spirits into the country from the continent.

All in all, the romance, wild and beautiful landscape will make Porthleven the idyllic setting for your own seaside adventure.
