I visit Cornwall every year with family and come back to this shop every time to see what new bits and bobs they have in, I absolutely love how unique it is and just how much stock they have! The new owners are really nice too, definitely recommend coming here if you're into alternative decor of any sort. Super good prices too!
6. Fowey to Mevagissey Ferry

Four of us decide to try out the Mevagissey to Fowey ferry , it was a last minute decision I'm glad we made, with all the problems with the virus the crew made everything run very smoothly, we were allocated our seating while on the jetty for our outbound and return journey, the crossing was very smooth with stunning views and a small detour to see some dolphins. The return was quite rough but the skipper gave us a fair warning of exactly what to expect so it was a thrilling white knuckle ride coming out or the Fowey river for ten minutes or so, for £15 return it was the best day out of our holiday
7. Caerhays Castle
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 237 reviews
Caerhays Castle is one of the very few Nash built castles still left standing, and is situated within approximately 120 acres of informal woodland gardens created by J C Williams, who sponsored plant hunting expeditions to China at the turn of the century. As well as guided tours of the house from March to June, visitors will see some of the magnificent selection of plants brought back by the intrepid plant hunters of the early 1900s - these include not only the collection of magnolias but a wide range of rhododendrons and the camellias which Caerhays and the Williams family are associated with worldwide.

All the elements of a lovely Spring garden visit: beautiful azaleas, rhododendrons and camellias, complemented by carpets of bluebells, wild garlic and countless other wild flowers. The gardens are set on a hillside, and there is little evidence of them being accessible. That said, it should be fine if you take your time and use one of the many benches to take in the views. At the end of our walk we treated ourselves to a Cornish cream tea in the Magnolia Tea Rooms. We weren't disappointed! Just the best scone I've ever tasted, almost so good I could have eaten it without the scrumptious clotted cream and jam. Lovely selection of freshly made sandwiches and homemade pasties too. We finished off our visit with a stroll on Porthluney Beach, which is right beside the car park!

Great find in a place we've been visiting for years. Would be easy to miss but well worth a visit - especially as it's free! Fascinating collection of exhibits with lots of local history which helps you understand how the community has developed over the years. Quirky layout but that adds to its charm!
9. The Cornish Fudge Shop

This morning whilst on holiday, we visited the delightful Cornish Fudge Shop in Mevagissey to buy gifts for our friends & family back home. We are not at all connoisseurs of fudge but we were splendidly helped by the wonderful shop assistant Shirley, who was extremely friendly, informative, polite & courteous. The fudge looked so good that we couldn't resist buying some for ourselves - and we weren't at all disappointed - it was scrumptious! Altogether, with the delicious fudge & the most charming Shirley, it was a shopping trip that will be included in our itinerary for all future visits to Mevagissey.
