Comments Off on Yachts, fishing, leisure in Mevagissey Cornwall
Mevagissey is centred around the busy active fishing harbour which still operates commercially and has an inner and an outer deep water harbour that provides shelter for either leisure craft or yachts. Mevagissey is approximately six miles from the market town of St Austell, which has a wider range of retail amenities and facilities as well as good leisure facilities. Three popular golf courses are situated near to the town and a main railway link from Penzance to Paddington runs from St Austell. The Cathedral city of Truro is approximately 15 miles away.
Bustling restaurants, cafes & many shops line the harbour-side and the narrow streets of Mevagissey.
There are sailing clubs at Porthpean, Pentewan and Fowey – the latter being a particularly interesting and historic town with a deep and natural harbour suitable for larger sailing craft. Nearby Portmellon also has a small boatyard. Road link via the A30 is mainly dual carriageway to the junction with the M5 at Exeter.
Fishing Trips are available from the harbour side.
The Ferry from Mevagissey Harbour to Fowey runs daily see the timetable here

Comments Off on Memories are made of the sea
Cornish coastline to the south of Mevagissey
From when I was a small child I was lucky enough to spend holidays in Cornwall. We always went to my grandmothers house which was where my mother and her brothers went as evacuees from London during the Second World War. We spent some of our summer holidays there each year. It gave me fond memories and because we were so close to the sea and the beach I remember the salty air, the view of the sea, the sand, cliff walks and ice-cream and cider ice lollies for some reason! With this in mind Skysail is a modern version of the old house we stayed in where as a child my memories were made and are with me today. I want all the children who stay at Skysail to feel that same connection with Cornwall for all the right reasons. Yes there is Eden and the attractions, but at Skysail you can see the ships passing and try to identify the name on the bow, all sorts of ships pass by including cargo carriers and sometimes military.
On a weekend you can see the canoes going out for a row in the bay starting out from Portmellon Beach. Each morning you can hear the small engines of the fishing boats heading out for the days fishing. There is an immediate connection with the sea, its all around you when you are in the house and it draws you to want to look at the amazing sea view continually. Enjoy and dip your toe in the sea! Make your own cornish memories.
