Mevagissey is still very much a working fishing village - bustling narrow streets, packed with shops selling all manner of goods. Pubs, restaurants and cafes abound, offering a huge variety of fare to satisfy everyone's taste buds! |
| You may like to go out on a fishing trip with one of the local fishermen or fish off the harbour wall. |  |

From Cornish Fudge to Clotted Cream, fine Watercolours, Mevagissey's got them all. |
Treleaven Farmhouse is on the fringes of the Heligan Estate. The renovation of the Lost Gardens of Heligan - a prime example of a Victorian garden - is Europe's largest garden project and is popular with visitors to Mevagissey. During the restoration project more and more of the large estate has been brought to life. It is has been featured on many television programmes and is the subject of several books.

The Cornish Way footpath & cycle trail, which passes by the entrance lane to Treleaven Farmhouse, has an off-road section from Mevagissey via Heligan and the Pentewan Valley towards St Austell. |
The Eden Project has been called "the eighth wonder of the world" by some. Already almost half-a-million people have visited the Big Build - watching the development of the Biomes which will house two of the world's climate zones. The largest Biome is so large that the Tower of London would fit inside it. And yet, the structure is so light - 400 tons - that it is the same weight as the air it contains!
