🚶‍♂️ Just Walking – No Talking
A quiet wander through Mevagissey, one of Cornwall’s most characterful fishing villages—where narrow lanes twist between whitewashed cottages and the twin-harbour hum tells stories of tides, trawlers, and time gone by. Backed by steep hills and fronted by the sea, Mevagissey is equal parts postcard and working port, with every step echoing the rhythm of a village shaped by salt and sails.

🕰️ Highlights, History & Local Lore
First recorded in the 14th century and named after two saints—Meva and Issey—Mevagissey grew rich from pilchards and boatbuilding. Today, it’s one of the few Cornish harbours where fishing still happens daily, with colourful boats bobbing in the inner and outer quays.

The maze of cobbled streets is a treasure trove of details: hand-painted signs for family-run shops, centuries-old net lofts repurposed as art galleries, and weather-beaten pubs that whisper tales of sailors and smuggling. Mevagissey once boasted over 60 pubs, a testament to its boisterous maritime past, and though fewer now remain, the spirit of the place is just as lively.

The old lifeboat station, now a museum, sits near the harbour wall—a reminder of the community’s long-standing courage at sea. At low tide, you’ll often see locals crossing the sand to tiny Polstreath Beach or casting lines from the breakwater, just as generations have before.

On higher ground, views stretch across St Austell Bay, and the scent of salt, chips, and flowers from hidden gardens mingles on the breeze. Despite its popularity, Mevagissey has held tight to its soul—still very much a village, not a theme park.

This is a walk through Cornish heritage—quiet, crooked, and anchored to the sea. A place where boats matter more than cars and the past is never far beneath your feet.
