Info
Wherrytown is a small settlement in west Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Situated on the east side of the Laregan River, between Newlyn and Penzance, and formerly in the civil parish of Madron, it was incorporated into the Borough of Penzance in 1934.
The village bore the brunt of the Ash Wednesday storm on 7 March 1962, with most of the buildings destroyed along with nearly one mile of the seafront from the Battery Rocks to Tolcarne heavily damaged. The only Wherrytown building to survive was the Mount's Bay Inn. At low spring tides, and after storms partially fossilised trees can be exposed. The South West Coast Path follows the shore.
