Synopsis
Home to a variety of fishing vessels, Newlyn is one of the largest fishing ports in the United Kingdom, and the industry is of great importance to the Cornish economy. Newlyn Tidal Observatory is situated in an unassuming building next to the lighthouse on South Pier. This is the home of mean sea level, from which all height measurements in mainland Britain begin, as designated by the Ordnance Survey.
