A drive through the fishing village of Mevagissey

Diefers Dashcam UK

Currently on holiday in my most favorite destinations in the UK. This is a drive taken from my dashcam through the old fishing village of Mevagissey on the south coast.

Mevagissey (Meva to locals) is an attractive old town which was once the centre of Cornwall’s pilchard fishery and which still boasts a working harbour, with a few dozen small fishing boats. It has a tradition of boat building dating back to 1745. Many of the old buildings, constructed of cob and slate, bear testimony to a time when the large shoals of pilchards were the livelihood of the whole village. Fishing trips can be taken from the harbour and there is a ferry to the nearby port of Fowey. There is a car park on the quay but the narrow streets can be difficult to negotiate and are often full of pedestrians.

It's with this last sentence that care must be taken driving through the village as it wasn't designed with motor cars in mind. In fact, even the horse & cart would have struggled with those bloody hills!!
