A pretty harbour town that tumbles from high on the hill right down to the water. Narrow, crooked streets give Fowey a classic Cornish feel. The inspiration for much of Daphne du Maurier's writing, Fowey hosts the hugely popular Du Maurier Festival each year. The Regatta Week, held every August, is a highlight in Fowey's calendar.
The picture perfect harbour village of Polperro nestles in a sheltered valley on the south coast of Cornwall between its more famous neighbours Looe and Fowey. Dating back to the 13th century you can feel the history of the village all around you. This is a true Cornish hidden gem.
Pretty waterside village on the upper reaches of the River Fowey. Beautiful surroundings and lovely walks that will take you through the woods to St Winnow, a small hamlet with a truly delightful church that sits beside the water. The local farmer serves teas there in season! Walking back to Lerryn you can enjoy an ice cream or sample local produce from the pub.
Lostwithiel nestles in a beautiful valley on the banks of the River Fowey, once a busy shipping way for boats laden with tin destined for France and the Med. Today, Restormel Castle and St Bartholomew's Church remain as examples of the stunning architecture in this historic stannary town, where many a pleasant hour can be spent wandering amid the antiques shops and cafes.
