Description This is Port Quin nr Port Issac in Cornwall. One day near the end of the 19th century the boats went out fishing and all perished in a storm. The women of the village tried to carry on without the men, but inevitably they deserted the village and everything desended into ruin. The National Trust has restored 4 of the cottages for holiday let. Give it a visit when near the views are spectacular.
