Location The Fradgan area comprises a delightful mix of character cottages and tasteful conversions of larger buildings, at the very heart of the historic fishing port of Newlyn. The setting is postcard perfect with cottages arranged around a cobbled street, just yards away from the scenic harbour and village shops. Newlyn, famed for the painters of the Newlyn School, retains much character and charm, exemplified by the numerous galleries and artists working in the area. The remaining fishing fleet bears further testament to the town's heritage. The recently constructed pontoon in the harbour provides additional berthing and an extremely useful stop off point betwixt the Lizard and the Isles of Scilly; plus plans for regeneration and the marina mean that this town is also looking to the future. Health centre, shops, bank, post office and primary school are within half a mile and a more comprehensive range of facilities is available in Penzance (one and a half miles).
