About Mevagissey

Meva-ag-issey, means “Meva & Issey”. the town of St. Meva and St. Issey was first recorded as a hamlet in 1313, however there were settlements in the locality long before that date, as is shown by the uncovering of two bronze age burial urns at Portmellon. Mevagissey is a maze of tiny streets that wind through old cob and slate buildings coming to the nerve centre which is undoubtedly the harbour. To this day this is very much a working harbour where fishermen can be seen mending their nets and unloading their catch, this has been the case since John Trewollas built the first pier in 1430.

Today the fishermen are quite happy to take visitors fishing, be it deep sea or just trawling for mackerel in the bay.
Self drive hire boats are also available from the harbour.
Fishing from the quay is a popular pastime and often successful, early morning and evening are the best times.
In the narrow streets can be found various craft shops art galleries, cafes, restaurants and pubs.
Also in the village:
World of Model Railways Exhibition, an impressive collection of 2000 models and a layout alive with 50 working trains.
Sea Aquarium (in the old lifeboat house)
Folk Museum, shows how Mevagissey once looked when the pilchard industry was booming.
Feast Week: Celebrations at the end of June includes music, flora dance, fishing boat race, fireworks, in fact a jolly time is had by all.
On the outskirts of Mevagissey there are some beautiful sandy beaches, the closest being Pentewan and Gorran Haven.
Many people visit Mevagissey outside the normal holiday season in order to enjoy the heritage and natural wildlife of Cornwall without the usual crowds and to capture the awesome beauty of the precipitous cliffs and the sea in all its moods.
During the pre-Christmas period Mevagissey has a wonderful display of Christmas Lights and the New Year is celebrated in the Cornish tradition in which almost everybody wears fancy dress.
Passenger ferry trips to Fowey are available from the harbour. Take in all the little coves, beaches and headlands en-route and enjoy a few hours in this picturesque little town, with perhaps a cream tea or walk around the headland. Views of Fowey can be seen on the 'Fowey Link' page.
