Nestled in the heart of Cornwall, Portmellon is one of England's hidden gems that seamlessly blend quaint fishing village vibes with breathtaking coastal landscapes. For those like me who love exploring charming settings on foot, a walking tour around Portmellon offers the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.
Strolling Through the Village Charm
Starting my journey from the epicenter of the village, I was warmly greeted by the pastel-colored cottages that outline the backdrop of Portmellon Beach. The clink of mast rings and the distant sound of waves set the mood for an immersive experience.
Local Flavors and Delights
No walking tour is complete without sampling local delicacies. The The Rising Sun Inn is my go-to for traditional Cornish fare. Their fresh seafood and welcoming vibe make it a great pit-stop after a scenic stroll.

Portmellon's proximity to stunning coastlines makes it a dream for nature lovers. The circular walking route along the South West Coast Path, leading to the nearby village of Mevagissey, offers stunning sea views. Don't forget to have your camera ready!
Accommodations with a View
To make the most of my stay, finding the right accommodation is key. Dolphin Cottage, with its panoramic views of the coastline, provides the perfect setting for relaxation after a day's adventure.
Local Crafts and Souvenirs
A short walk from the beach leads to Portmellon Pottery, where handmade pieces capture the essence of the Cornish culture, making for wonderful souvenirs and gifts.
Connect with Local History
For history buffs, the tiny chapel at St. Peter's Church, with its storied past, offers an enriching glimpse into Portmellon’s historical heritage.
