点评:We used to visit Mevagissey over five decades ago, it was then one of the oldest and largest fishing harbours in Cornwall. My wife and I along with our two daughters last visited Mevagissey back in 1986 and already the noticeable change from Cornish fishing town to tourist destination was becoming evident. Today there are still fishing trawlers fishing out of the harbour. Yet there seemed to be more pleasure boats about.
Mevagissey town itself has changed little with some great Cornish pubs around the harbour and town. Now there are more restaurants, cafes and souvenir shops around the harbour. We were also amazed at the number of fashion boutiques that were in the town, definitely a sign of the times we now live in.
There is still plenty of activities for the family to enjoy. The museum is worth a visit for an hour The old Life boat station has now been converted into a informative Aquarium. Great strolls and walks along the inner and outer harbour walls, as well as the coastal paths leading to Gorran Haven and Polstreath Beach.
However, the icing on the cake though for our few days in Mevagissey was being able to attend a practice hour of the Mevagissey Male Voice Choir and listen to the songs for an upcoming concert. Numerous old songs, with "This is my Cornwall" bringing back many childhood memories listening to the Mousehole Choir.
Although Mevagissey has changed over the years it is still worth a few hours just to walk through the old cobble streets. harbour or just visit one of the old pubs.
翻译:五十多年前,我们曾去过梅瓦吉西,当时它是康沃尔郡最古老、最大的渔港之一。我和妻子带着两个女儿上次来梅瓦吉西是在1986年,那时,这座康沃尔渔村已然蜕变为旅游胜地,其变化之显著已初见端倪。如今,港口仍然有渔船出海捕鱼,但游船似乎更多了。
梅瓦吉西镇本身几乎没有什么变化,港口和城镇周围有一些很棒的康沃尔酒吧。现在,港口周围有更多的餐厅、咖啡馆和纪念品商店。我们也对镇上众多的时尚精品店感到惊讶,这无疑是我们如今所处时代的标志。
这里仍然有很多适合全家参与的活动。博物馆值得花一个小时参观。旧的救生艇站现已改建成一个信息丰富的水族馆。沿着港口内外墙,以及通往戈兰港和波尔斯特里斯海滩的海岸小径,漫步漫步,真是太棒了。
然而,在梅瓦吉西的这几天里,锦上添花的是能够参加梅瓦吉西男声合唱团的练习,并聆听即将举行的音乐会的歌曲。许多老歌,尤其是《这是我的康沃尔》,勾起了我许多童年回忆,当时我听着鼠洞合唱团的歌声。
尽管梅瓦吉西多年来发生了变化,但即使只是漫步在古老的鹅卵石街道上,或者只是去一家老酒吧,仍然值得花上几个小时。
