About

Mevagissey is a traditional fishing village with a working harbour. The village has a network of narrow, winding lanes that climb the steep hillsides surrounding the port. The harbour remains active with day boats, and its inner and outer basins are protected by historic stone piers.

Inland, the area transitions to the old mining parish of Polgooth. The landscape here is marked by the remains of the once-productive South Polgooth tin mine, its engine house stack a prominent feature on the skyline. The area's history is tied to this industry, with local paths following routes used by miners.
