Explore a charming village set around a 14th-century harbour, where you can watch fishermen unload their catch, often destined for your dinner just hours later. Mevagissey, Cornwall, once at the heart of the pilchard industry in the 1800s, retains its maritime heritage. But despite its rich history, 'Meva' is far from old-fashioned: it offers a blend of contemporary dining with a variety of modern restaurants, vibrant bars, and trendy boutiques.
The village is also well-located for exploring some of Cornwall’s most popular attractions. Just a short drive away, you’ll find the world-renowned Eden Project, with stunning biomes and educational exhibits, and The Lost Gardens of Heligan, a beautifully restored Victorian garden offering a glimpse into Cornwall’s horticultural history.
The nearby Roseland Peninsula is a highlight for nature lovers, with picturesque coastal villages like St Mawes and Portscatho offering a variety of cafes, restaurants, and shops. For those looking for outdoor activities, Goran Haven, a sheltered sandy cove just a stone's throw away, is ideal for watersports and relaxing beach days.
