Here are the top five things to see and do from our cottages in Fowey:
Start your visit by exploring the town's charming harbour. Watch the boats sail in and out, enjoy the views of the estuary, and take a relaxing stroll along the waterfront. You can also take a ferry ride across the river to Polruan for even more breathtaking views.
This historic castle, perched on a cliff overlooking the sea, offers a glimpse into Fowey's maritime past. It was built in the 16th century to defend the harbour from invasion. The castle ruins provide a fantastic vantage point to admire the coastline.
Just a short walk from the town centre, Readymoney Cove is a beautiful sandy beach with crystal-clear waters. It's an ideal spot for a leisurely day by the sea, and there are also coastal paths nearby for those who enjoy walking.
Delve into the town's rich history at the Fowey Museum, which showcases exhibits related to the town's maritime heritage, including the famous author Daphne du Maurier, who had close ties to Fowey.
Fowey is surrounded by beautiful walking paths and trails that offer stunning views of the estuary, rolling hills, and picturesque villages. The Hall Walk is a popular route that takes you along the estuary to Polruan, providing breathtaking vistas.
