Mevagissey
Mevagissey was first recorded as a hamlet in 1313. Meva-ag-issey means "Meva and Issey" and is named in the 15th century after the Welsh and Irish saints, Meva and Itha. John Trewollas built the first pier here in 1430, and fishing has been important ever since. Mevagissey is today a very pretty fishing village with rows of colour washed cob cottages grouped round the steep sides of a valley and a natural harbour. Mevagissey Harbour is still an active fishing harbour, although today tourists bring in more money to the local economy than pilchards,. In the narrow streets leading off the harbour, you will find craft shops, art galleries, cafes, restaurants and pubs.

There are 50 rooms to explore, with the servants' quarters and 'below stairs' being particularly evocative. The garden is firmly Victorian, with a magnificent collection of magnolias, camellias and rhododendrons, and is full of colour all year.
