To the immediate north of the harbour is a tangle of very narrow streets lined with former fishermen's cottages. It is easy to imagine that this area might once have been quite rough, but many of the cottages are now up-market holiday lets. The name recalls the strong Methodist tradition amongst working-class Cornish people.
