Mevagissey

About Mevagissey

Mevagissey’s name hums with harmony—St Meva and St Issey, saints paired since the 1300s, their church, St Peter’s, a beacon for fishers. Were they monks, nuns, or echoes of Cornwall’s soul? No scroll tells, but their shared blessing speaks of togetherness, not rivalry. Nets haul crab by the harbour, where kids learn knots and tales spill at The Ship Inn. This village weaves tight—Feast Week’s laughter, pasties at The Coffee Buoy—community over competition.

Today, Mevagissey’s cobbled lanes buzz with life. Boats bob, offering trips past Looe Island’s myths. Stroll the quay, ponder the saints’ steps, then sip at The Fountain Inn, where neighbours swap stories. St Austell’s brews or Gorran Haven’s calm lie near, tying past to present.
