Description by the author

Mevagissey is a fishing village on the south coast of Cornwall. The first part of the walk takes you along the Coast Path along the cliffs to Pentewan, where you have a breathtaking view of the beach and the bay. Then it goes to the lost gardens of Heligan, a sub-tropical estate with beautiful Victorian gardens. The last part goes back to Mevagissey, where you can visit the aquarium on the way or enjoy the tranquility of the harbor. The route starts and ends at the Mevagissey museum.
