St Mawes and Mevagissey

After a quiet night - we were so tired we didn’t even hear the owls - we woke this morning to a light Cornish Mist.

After breakfast, having emptied and filled our tanks we prepared Kiki for the road. However, before settling out, we took a stroll down into Portscatho. This tiny fishing village is quite pretty with its old houses clustered around the harbour. We returned to Kiki for coffee before settling out to St Mawes.

On arrival we parked in St Mawes football club and put our £3 donation in their honesty box. There’s quite a walk down to the town from here but the road gets very narrow from this point onwards! The sun was peeking through the clouds as we approached the castle which meant the view across Carrick Roads was spectacular.

We walked to the harbour and wandered around this quaint but extremely expensive old town.

We made a loop by returning to Kiki up the main road. Having worked up an appetite we had lunch before hitting the road to Mevagissey  - Emma liked the name so we decided to visit! Parking is only £5 overnight so we’ve decided to stay.


We wandered into the town and checked out the harbour and some of the gift shops. We’re looking for a fridge magnet for Kiki but so far have been unsuccessful. There was a German film crew working around an old wooden fishing boat in the harbour - we wondered what they are filming!

After a couple of hours mooching around we returned to Kiki for our evening meal before settling down for the night.
