Portloe – Roseland peninsula

The village lies on the Roseland Peninsula on the south coast of Cornwall. The steep valley that runs down to the sea has ensured a lack of development and many buildings are as they were built. The naturally sheltered position saw the village grow in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries as a busy pilchard fishing port.

At one time there were more than fifty boats fishing here – now only a few boats work from the cove mainly for crab and lobster.
