The attractive, unspoilt fishing village of Porthleven in South West Cornwall is situated in the middle of Mount’s Bay, to the west of the Lizard Peninsula and to the east of Land’s End.
The typical Cornish harbour forms the centre of the village, surrounded by fishermen’s houses, shops, pubs and restaurants. There is plenty to do in the immediate area, with two miles of beach and several nearby golf courses, parks and sports centers nearby. There are a wealth of coastal footpaths to explore in the surrounding area, and within easy reach are many more of Cornwall's most picturesque towns and villages.

Other attractions slightly further afield include the famous Cliffside open air theatre at the Minack (30minutes), The Tate Gallery (20 minutes), the Land’s End Theme Park (20 miles). For the children, Flambards Theme Park and Poldark Mine are only four miles away.
