Mevagissey is one of Cornwall’s best-loved working fishing villages, with a double harbour, narrow streets of cafes, galleries and pubs, and boat trips and fishing trips from the quay – with a summer ferry across the bay to Fowey.
The Lost Gardens of Heligan are only about a mile away, and the Eden Project, Charlestown and Fowey are all within easy reach. The South West Coast Path leads south to Portmellon, Gorran Haven and Dodman Point.
