A great trip idea to try during your holidays in Mevagissey is the Ferry from Meva to Fowey, which is regular and very informative. Only taking 35 minutes it is quicker than driving and much more fun. Basking whales have also been known to make an appearance during the trip.

If a Mevagissey holiday should include the Lost Gardens of Heligan, on those cloudier days the Eden Project, the Falmouth National Maritime Museum and the Tate Modern at St. Ives offer splendid under cover diversions.

For a few of the area’s less well known attractions, there’s Carn Brea Castle, the Carn Brae monument or the ‘Cup and Saucer’ rock near Redruth. Alternatively, try the Cornish Cyder Farm in Truro, or a little further afield The Cornish Birds of Pray Centre in Colum, and the Monkey Sanctuary in Looe. Pendennis Castle near Falmouth or Roseland Peninsular could also make part of an interesting day trip for your holidays in Mevagissey, St Austell, Cornwall.
