Port Quin is a small rugged inlet harbour on the North Cornish coast that has a compelling atmosphere all of its own. A place of peace and tranquillity on a summer’s day, and conversely, awe inspiring during a winter storm. Local folklore recounts that the entire fishing fleet was destroyed at sea one stormy night, there were no survivors.

The women of the village tried to carry on without their men but, eventually, the hardship became intolerable and Port Quin was left deserted, with the fishermen’s cottages falling into disrepair and ruin. Today, there is little here but four National Trust holiday cottages and a few other buildings converted from old stone built fish warehouses. Text courtesy of Atlantic Highway Ltd
