Portmellon

We are at Portmellon on the coast just beyond Mevagissey in beautiful Cornwall.

Portmellon is a small hamlet clustered around a tiny sheltered bay which in olden times was a favourite haunt of smugglers.

There is a pub, The Rising Sun which opens daily from March to October, whose restaurant serves lunches and evening meals.

In Summer a number yachts can be seen anchored in the bay which makes an attractive sight

There is also a small working boatyard.

Directions

M5 — A30 — A391 to St Austell.

A390 towards Truro.

Look out for MacDonalds on the left — take left turn onto B3273 to Mevagissey

Straight through village (narrow one-way system) and go up Polkirt Hill towards Portmellon and Gorran Haven — be sure to keep the Ship Inn on your right hand side (the road looks one way but isn't)

Keep going and in approx 500metres you pass the Headlands Hotel on your right hand side, take the first turning left, proceed down the hill and The Anchorage is approx 200 metres on the left hand side as the road drops down into Portmellon

N.B. The Anchorage is exactly half a mile or 0.8K from Mevagissey
