Welcome to Menagissey

Menagissey is a picturesque fishing village located on the south coast of Cornwall. The village is known for its narrow streets, colorful houses, and bustling harbor. The harbor is home to a small fleet of fishing boats that bring in fresh seafood daily, which can be enjoyed at one of the many restaurants in the village. Menagissey is also a popular destination for tourists, who come to explore the village's history and enjoy the stunning coastal scenery.

One of the main attractions in Menagissey is the village museum, which tells the story of the village's rich history. The museum is housed in a former sail loft and features exhibits on the village's fishing industry, smuggling, and shipbuilding. Visitors can also learn about the village's famous residents, including the novelist Daphne du Maurier, who lived in Menagissey for many years. The museum is a must-visit for anyone interested in the history of Cornwall.

Menagissey is also a great base for exploring the surrounding area. The village is located on the South West Coast Path, which offers stunning views of the coastline and access to secluded coves and beaches. Visitors can also take a boat trip from the harbor to explore the nearby Fowey estuary, which is home to a variety of wildlife, including seals and dolphins. With its rich history, stunning scenery, and friendly locals, Menagissey is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Cornwall.
