History of Mylor Harbour
The history of Mylor Harbour is deeply connected to Cornwall’s maritime traditions. The site was once used as a naval dockyard during the Napoleonic Wars, serving as a base for British naval operations and ship repairs. In the 19th century, the harbour developed into a hub for the local fishing industry, supporting a thriving community of fishermen and traders. The area’s sheltered waters and strategic location made it an ideal spot for maritime activities, including the transport of goods to and from Falmouth. Today, Mylor Harbour has transformed into a modern marina, but it retains its connection to Cornwall’s seafaring heritage. The nearby St. Mylor Church, which dates back to the 13th century, further highlights the area’s historical significance. Now managed as a popular marina, Mylor Harbour continues to celebrate its maritime roots, drawing visitors who come to experience its vibrant boating community and scenic setting.
