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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
