Wandering Around Charlestown Harbour, Cornwall : 10 Photos

Charlestown harbour, Cornwall

I was in Charlestown, Cornwall on Sunday morning and snapped a few quick photos as I walked round the harbour.

Quite a few people about and many were having coffee, or something stronger, at the Pier House.

The Charlestown Rowing Club entered the harbour after a rowing session at sea.

The rowers hauled their boat up the slope in front of the Pier House.

Several people were fishing from the harbour wall. I didn't see anyone, though, who had actually caught a fish.

There was only one tall sailing ship in the inner harbour.

From the main harbour to the inner harbour there is a narrow bridge. The level of the water is higher here.

The flags were about. Many of the cottages are now holiday homes.

    1. Thanks David. We often wander round the harbour at Charlestown, never get bored with it as there is always something of interest. We are expecting some very heavy rain, a festival at Newquay has been cancelled because of the severe weather warnings.

    2. Yes, we're expecting 40 mph winds on Saturday but not so much rain.
