Mevagissey, Cornwall Stuff You Don't Get Anywhere Else

The Stuff We Can't Fit In Somewhere Else

• Update: The Harbour Lights is now a complex of expensive apartments, so it's too late to save it, I'm afraid. The arty cafe where Bourne's used to be is open and brilliant, and there are numerous excellent restaurants in Meva thesedays - The Haven, Salamander, The Harbour Tavern (which has just been refurbished) to name but a few. Also an amusing quote from a Mevagissey lass who wrote to John Wesley in 1750 asking him to come and preach in the village: "Sir, if at any time you be nigh unto Mevagissie, I shd. esteem it a great favour if you wd. come and preach to the people, for in this town, there is much licence and drunkenness. The souls of the people cry out for a lead away from their sin, but the Church gives it not to them. Therefore, like sheep without a shepherd, they stray from the true ways of Godliness, and are in great need of Salvation." Well not a lot has changed even though he did come and preach here!!
• Do you know they hanged a monkey as a French spy here once, perhaps they shoul twin with Hartlepool
• Anyone ever noticed how you keep getting pulled back to a village you never thought you liked for years. I live 250+ miles have a packed socail life and still pine to return to a place that is quaint and laid back in the day, and good value buzzing in the nights. Yes there are no nightclubs but for pubs and the sea it can't be beaten.

• Health: Try the Holistic Health Studio in Church Street- massage, sports injuries, aromatherapy, reflexology, shiatsu etc. etc.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
