The perfect setting for a perfect Cornish holiday.

Mevagissey - Fowey  Ferry
During the summer, a regular ferry runs between 

Fowey and Mevagissey. Take in the sea air, the fantastic views

 and you don't have to worry about the car either.

MEVAGISSEY is one of the most charming fishing ports of the South Cornish Coast, its white and colour-washed dwellings perched on the slopes of the hills encircling the two harbours. Many of the old fish cellars in the picturesque village have been converted to modern use but their old strong walls and the unspoilt appearance of the narrow streets retain the character of old Mevagissey which is so enchanting to the holiday visitor. Fishing still remains one of the chief occupations of local people and visitors interested in fishing will be glad to know that many of the hundreds of boats bobbing in the harbour are available for deep sea angling and shark fishing. mackerel fishing trips around the bay are popular. Much of the coastline adjacent to Mevagissey is cared for by the National Trust and is easily accessible. Visit the ruins of Portgiskey, cottages, cellars, gardens and boatyards, abandoned in the late nineteenth century. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are just outside of the village and the Eden Project is about 7 miles away.
