MULLION COVE.



Mullion Cove or Porth Mellin is a small community on the west coast of the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, England. The cove forms part of the parish of Mullion and is accessible by road from Mullion village. The cove is 5 miles south of Porthleven and 14 miles southeast of Penzance by sea. It is 6 miles south of Helston by land and 13 miles southwest of Falmouth by land. The coast in this part of Cornwall can be a wild and rugged place. Mullion harbour was built between 1893 and 1895 to support the pilchard fishing industry from the cove and kindly donated to the National Trust by the Meyer family in 1945. The harbour still has a small fishing fleet today, landing mainly shellfish.

  1. When you see a location such as this it can be difficult to come up with words to describe it. Some might call it quaint, others might say cozy. It does look like a friendly and comfortable place to be. The scenery is really nice. I guess we have some places that are like this in the New England area, but I've never seen them. This is really good, Les! You certainly do a good job finding locations to take photos. No wonder you say photography is your first love!!!
