The electoral ward of Mousehole, Newlyn & St. Buryan sits on the far south‑west tip of Cornwall in England, straddling the southern shore of Mount's Bay and reaching inland across the rolling farmland of the Penwith peninsula near Penzance. It brings together the tiny, picture‑postcard harbour of Mousehole, the larger working fishing port of Newlyn, and the historic rural village and parish of St. Buryan.
Economically the ward is still rooted in fishing - Newlyn remains one of Britain’s busiest small ports - while tourism, arts (the legacy of the Newlyn School), galleries and small hospitality businesses are important; Mousehole is famed for its narrow lanes and seasonal lights, and St. Buryan for its medieval church and prehistoric landscapes. Socially the area balances a strong Cornish identity and lively local community life with the pressures of second‑home ownership and seasonal economies that come with being such a scenic part of the Cornish coast.
