The picturesque setting of the fishing village of Mevagissey (6mi/10km south of St Austell), with its narrow alleyways and quaint slate houses, guarantees its popularity as a summer resort.
Mevagissey features a variety of shops and art galleries, and is an ideal base for tourists wishing to explore Cornwall.
Caerhays Castle is one of the sights of interest on the way to Veryan (9mi/15km southwest of Mevagissey; pop. 880), a delightful village noted for its eight, most unusual, whitewashed roundhouses, with conical roofs, Gothic windows and crosses.
Veryan is situated near a string of sandy beaches.
The World of Model Railways in Mevagissey delivers precisely what it promises - a finely detailed, miniature world of trains as well as authentic railroad attractions. Train enthusiasts will also enjoy the model shop which has items for beginner to experienced modellers.
