Portscatho

Portscatho, along with many other villages along the south coast including St Mawes and Mevagissey, were well known for pilchard fishing, which was an important factor in the growth of the local economy. This pleasant and unspoilt fishing village, with its sandy beach on Gerrans Bay, is well worth a visit and may appear familiar to anyone who watched the television drama, The Camomile Lawn, as it was used as the filming location. Nowadays Portscatho, and the neighbouring village of Gerrans, have almost joined to form one village. Only five-minutes’ walk apart, Gerrans lies at the top of the hill above Portscatho and the medieval spire has acted as a landmark to generations of local sailors.
