Mevagissey

Mevagissey is a classic Cornish fishing village on the south coast, its two connected harbours still home to a working fleet and lined with narrow streets, old net lofts and small independent shops. Coast path walks lead towards the Lost Gardens of Heligan and Portmellon, and the village keeps an unspoiled, working feel that has resisted the more polished tourist trail.
