Mevagissey Harbour

Highlight • Historical Site

In the narrow streets of Mevagissey you find myriad shops, workshops, galleries, cafes and pubs, as well as many old buildings made of cob and slate. There are plenty of traditional fish and chip shops to try here, too. The picturesque town was once the centre of Cornwall’s pilchard fishery and, even today, still has a small working harbour with a few dozen fishing boats.

Portmellon Cove

Highlight • Viewpoint

Portmellon is a very small village and cove. The road closely hugs the sandy beach, which is completely covered by the sea at high tide.

There is a snack shack in the beach carpark and a pub next door if you are in need of sustenance.

If you approach Portmellon from the South West you will see the 'Beware Waves' sign on your left. Take heed on stormy days as the waves crash right over the road and can even hit the houses.

The Lost Gardens of Heligan

Highlight • Historical Site

The Lost Gardens of Heligan make for a mysterious and romantic visit. The gardens lay forgotten for decades after the outbreak of WWI until 1990, when they were re-discovered behind a door.

Heligan was built in the 13th century and was purchased by the Tremayne family in the 16th century. The gardens were developed from 1766 until 1914 with the construction of a walled garden, melon yard, bee boles and more.

Following the outbreak of WWI, the house was used as a hospital for officers, from 1939 until 1945 it housed American troops before being converted into flats and sold in the 1970s.

The gradens were restored to their former glory during the 1990s. You can easily spend a day wandering the 200 acres of gardens, which are open from 10am until 6pm. Tickets for adults cost £15. You can find more information, here: heligan.com
