Newlyn is a fishing town in Cornwall, England, next to Penzance. It has a population of around 21,000 people.

Newlyn grew as a fishing port due largely to its choice location in Gwavas Lake, an area which forms part of Mounts Bay. It was mentioned for the first time in 1435. The villagers of Newlyn had strong connection with that of the parish of Paul, which is connected to it by a hill path running steelply up the cliff.

Today, as it was centuries past, the economy of Newlyn is closely associated with the sea, and most of the people here are fishermen. It is in fact the biggest fishing port in England.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
