Mevagissey’s three Slow Ways are 58% checked
Help connect Mevagissey
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Mevagissey’s Slow Ways.

Latest Updates
It was very accessible with no styles and the only road walking was towards the end as you enter St Austell which I think would be unavoidable given you are walking into a town....

This wasn’t a problem given how quiet these were but in the spring or summer these may become a lot busier especially given the route goes past the Lost Gardens of Heligan....

I walked this route from Mevagissey to St Austell. The main pro of this route is the separation from roads and pleasant walk along the St Austell river....

I walked this route from Probus to Mevagissey. Grampound serves as a good place on the route to take a break or stock up on supplies with a similar offering to Probus....
everydayduffy
From a practicality and accessibility standpoint this route is 5* and I may have been swayed by having just walked the road heavy Probus to Mevagissey route but it felt like it somewhat lacked the interest or variety from a scenery point of view that might have had me scoring it a 5* overall....
JTinsley
Plenty of options for stocking up on supplies on route with shops in Probus, Grampound, Heligan (great farm shop) and Mevagissey....
JTinsley
This route follows (except in St Austell itself) National Cycle Route 3, so route finding is easy and the trail is very accessible, either hard grit or tarmac throughout, with no gates, stiles, walls or any other obstructions. I didn't really need to include wayfinding arrows on the photos, as it's pretty obvious where to go, following the Cycle Route 3 signs....
Mel Brammer
This is an easy route to complete, one climb shortly before descending into Mevagissey, with a lovely harbour and coffee/cakes to enjoy once you're there....
