MERMAIDS IN FOLKLORE<\/span><\/p>\n

The rugged coast of Cornwall is the perfect setting for the mysterious and magical – the sudden sea mists, the constant rush of the waves crashing against the dark granite cliffs.\u00a0And nothing is more mysterious and magical than a mermaid.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

In Cornish lore these beings are more than just alluring sirens with flowing hair and fish scale tails. They’re more complex – sometimes guardians, sometimes omens. Their stories are passed down from generation to generation and whispered by fishermen to this day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Certainly some Cornish mermaids were malevolent – conjuring up sudden storms or luring sailors to a watery grave and often people believed a mermaid sighting foretold a drowning or shipwreck. This duality, both dangerous and beautiful, echoed the moods of the sea.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/a><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n

Today, writers, artists and musicians continue to be fascinated by stories of the half woman half fish creatures and local souvenir shops sell plenty of trinkets and books with a nod to their myths and legends.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Whether you believe in these elusive sea spirits or just enjoy a good story, there’s no doubt that that there is something undeniably attractive about them.<\/span><\/p>\n
