Love Mevagissey one of my Fave places

[@railiedouglas3018]

My friend & I spent several days in Mevagissey last May & absolutely loved it, though the parking was a little awkward to say the least. Our hostess arranged parking in front of another house for us further uphill so it was a hike to get the car each morning to go visit The Eden Project & The Lost Gardens Of Heligan. We enjoyed scrumptious fish pie in the Fountain Inn. Such a gorgeous village. Thanks for the revisit.

[@railiedouglas3018]

Love the Scottish Saltire in the sky! Seems appropriate since they shipped barley from here to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The film Johnny Frenchman was filmed in Mevagissy in 1944, it was to have been part filmed in Brittany but was still under German control, so Mevagissy was split into two halves to portray itself to the film. I remember it well, the villagers were involved as extras, I was in the French half of the village. The actors were Tom Walls with Patricia Roc as his daughter, a French lady, Francoise Rosay was representing the enemy, as it were, the plot was about a fishing war between the Cornish fishermen and the Brittany poachers.

I have to say, I think Mevagissey is one of those little hidden secret places. The fewer people know about it, the better it is for those that do!! I went here as a child with my parents many years ago. We stayed at Gorran Haven which is close by. Over the years it looks like it has barely changed. What I like about Mevagissey is it's touristy without being too touristy. Still the locals doing local things, a full working harbour, the odd gift shop here and there and pubs (and there are quite a few for a small seaside village!). It has all the charm of Cornwall without the arcades and other trappings of the North Cornish coast, which is why I prefer the South Cornish coast so much. I guess what I'm trying to say is, it isn't over commercialised like some places. Great video.

[@michaelfirth1075]

My wife and I love Cornwall, you did a fantastic video.😊

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thank you so much! ☺️
