Detailed description is .
Newlyn is a seaside town and fishing port in south-west Cornwall, UK.Newlyn lies on the shore of Mount's Bay and forms a small conurbation with the neighbouring town of Penzance.
It is part of the Penzance civil parish, and is the southern-most town on the British mainland .
The principal industry is fishing, although there are also a wide variety of yachts and pleasure boats, in the harbour, as Newlyn is becoming an increasingly popular holiday destination, with many pubs and restaurants.
Although the parish is now listed under Penzance there is an electoral ward in separate existence called Newlyn and Mousehole.
The population as of the 2011 census was 4,432.ToponymyThe settlement is recorded as Nulyn in 1279 and as Lulyn in 1290, and the name is thought to be derived from the Cornish for "pool for a fleet of boats" which is thought to refer to the shallows offshore known as Gwavas Lake, traditionally the principal mooring for the fishing fleet in the area.HistoryBefore the rise of Newlyn as an important settlement the landing rights and most property within the Newlyn area were owned by the Manor of Alverton.
Newlyn's history has been strongly linked to its role as a major fishing port.
The natural protection afforded by the Gwavas Lake (an area of seawater in Mount's Bay) led to many local fishermen using this area as a preferred landing site.
