The Lavender Pillow

Reviewed By AliceSW182 - Bristol, United Kingdom

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!

Mevagissey Museum

Reviewed By Camping_Intents

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!

The Cornish Fudge Shop

Reviewed By daverH1942BO - Milton Keynes, United Kingdom

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.

Mevagissey, Heligan & the Prehistoric Tin Stream - South West Coast Path Walk

A 6.5 mile demanding but delightful walk through china clay country along the South West Coast Path. Starting from the picturesque fishing village of Mevagissey, travel inland through the medieval settlement associated with the famous Lost Gardens of Heligan before returning to the coast along the Pentewan Valley, where Cornwall's richest tin stream was first worked in prehistoric times.

Mevagissey Harbour

Reviewed By Dora0811 - Kettering, United Kingdom

Fantastic working harbour, with lots for both adults and children to see and do - from the fishing boats getting ready for their evening trips, crabbing off the harbour, the museum and aquarium right in the harbour side. Plus the village had numerous shops and eateries.
