Dist:0.3km<br/>This little town has developed around a harbour built 1793 to 1801 by John Smeaton for Sir Charles Rashleigh. The harbour has a lock gate and is now used for servicing 'tall' sailing ships, and also as a film set. There are sailmaker's workshops etc.

Dist:0.3km<br/>On the western side of the harbour there is a broad platform with access by a ramp, well-suited for maintenance work on the ships.
