Our visit

The village of Lamorna has long been associated with artists and writers. This small fishing village, set within Lamorna Cove on the Penwith peninsula has a special atmosphere. The entrance to the harbour is protected by the curving stone pier. On the day of our visit the cove had a dark brooding feel. Lamorna is definitely worth visiting.
