Port Quin

This tiny hamlet, along with its small shingle cove, suffered greatly in the 19th century when the railways took away the slate trade from its once busy quay. The demise of the port was so swift that, at one time, outsiders thought that the entire population of Port Quin had been washed away in a great storm.

The headland on the south side of Port Quin is known as Doyden Point, which is picturesquely ornamented with a 19th century castle folly once used for gambling parties. Now it is a National Trust holiday property, as is nearby Doyden House.
