Ghost stories and history of harbour among newly launched Porthleven Town Trail
Smuggler tunnels and ghost stories are featured on a new trail encouraging visitors and locals to explore Porthleven.
Porthleven Town Trail takes in 13 historical buildings centred around the harbour.
It lets walkers discover more about Porthleven’s past and people, including the history of the harbour as a working port, the discovery of china clay on nearby Tregonning Hill and the rumours of smuggler tunnels and ghosts at the Ship Inn, through a 20-page colour booklet or a free to download smart app for Apple and Android devices.
The project, which is the last of five to be completed by the Porthleven Community Interest Company thanks to a £100,000 grant in 2013, has taken nearly a year to bring into life.
It has been led by Andy Wallis and Louise Winterton, who said: “This has been a fascinating project and, being a Porthleven girl, one which is very close to my heart.
