MevagisseyTo stroll around and soak up the atmosphere of a Cornish fishing village is one of life's magical experiences. The fishing port of Mevagissey has always been popular with boating enthusiasts, sea anglers, artists (of all abilities) and people who just enjoy the scenery. It's also very popular with walkers. Take a trip along the coast by ferryboat to Fowey, or spend a few hours on a fishing trip for mackerel. The coastal path offers some breathtaking views of the Cornish coastline for more energetic visitors. Only short drives away are many attractions including the incredible Eden Project and the spectacular Lost Gardens of Heligan. There’s also great shopping in Truro, the capital of Cornwall, where you will also find plenty of music and art. The Eden Project- Don't leave Cornwall without seeing it!Eden is the greatest stage on earth. A vibrant reminder of our place in nature and a living demonstration of regeneration. In a couple of short years the team transformed an exhausted clay pit into a stunning lost world, reminding us of what we "ordinary" people can do one we set our minds to it. Open air concerts are also often held at Eden, so keep an eye on their website. From Mevagissey take the B3273 to St Austel and pick up the brown signs from the A390/A391 east from St Austell.
