Gwavas

Gwavas is a residential council estate on the southern outskirts of the town of Newlyn in west Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

Its derivation is from the Cornish "gwavos" meaning "winter farm".

[2] The slum clearance programme was intended to be much larger but many houses were saved following the famous Rosebud Campaign.

[3] Gwavas is situated on hilly ground.

[1][4] Nearby is the Gwavas Lake which is an area of relatively calm water that is situated outside the current harbour area of Newlyn.
