The smallest naval dockyard in Victorian England and rumoured to have been important to the French Resistance, Mylor is home to the last oyster fishing fleet still working under sail in the world.

Small and friendly, there is something of interest here for everyone - a fishing fleet, traditional boatyard, coast paths, a choice of restaurant, wine bar, or café, boat hire, sailing tuition, ancient churchyard, and any number of places nearby worth investigating by foot, road or water. Gardens, galleries, churches and castles are just a few suggestions to explore.
