PORTREATH HISTORY & HERITAGE:
Portreath harbour was founded in 1713 during Cornwall's mining boom, serving as the vital maritime gateway for copper and tin exports from the Camborne and Redruth mining districts. The harbour's strategic location on Cornwall's north coast made it essential for the industrial revolution, with mineral tramways connecting inland mines directly to the working port.

Today, Portreath remains one of Britain's few authentic working harbours, preserving 260 years of maritime heritage while welcoming visitors to experience real Cornish coastal village life. The harbour continues to serve working boats while the village maintains its traditional character with local shops, famous pasties, and stunning coastal scenery.

Perfect for Cornwall trip planning, heritage tourism, coastal walking enthusiasts, surfing culture, industrial history lovers, and anyone seeking authentic British coastal villages away from tourist crowds.
