About this location
A Grade II listed Georgian harbour on Cornwall's south coast, offering an exceptionally well-preserved maritime setting for film, television, commercial and photographic productions.
Dating back to the late 18th century, the harbour features imposing granite walls, traditional stone quays, an inner and outer basin, historic stone buildings, cobbled quaysides and beaches, all set against the dramatic Cornish coastline. Its maritime character suits period dramas, historical productions and contemporary coastal stories alike.
The harbour has an extensive filming history, having appeared in a wide range of major period dramas, feature films and commercials.
Within a relatively compact site there is a wide variety of looks: waterfront scenes, historic streetscapes, working harbour environments, coastal backdrops and traditional tall ships, subject to availability.
A dedicated on-site team manages the harbour and coordinates filming arrangements, access and operational requirements with each production.
