With plenty to enjoy both on and off the water, Regatta Week offers an incredible spectacle, with bright sails and all kinds of events.

During the week you can also take part in colourful parades, boat and raft races and enjoy the renowned firework display.
This fascinating attraction features over 8,000 sunken finds from shipwrecks all over the world – including the only intact barrel of coins to ever to be recovered from a shipwreck! You can even see some treasures from the waters around Charlestown.
The recovered artefacts date from Ancient Egypt to modern day discoveries with some incredible tales to be told.
Arrive in style on your trip to Fowey by travelling over the waters on this local ferry. Not only can you enjoy some coastal scenery, but you might spot some of the wonderful local wildlife too.
Not only can humans enjoy a trip on the ferry but dogs go free, so if you’re treating your four-legged friend to a break then look no further.
These gorgeous gardens offer a wonderful visitor experience, filled with lush flora and incredible sights. Take a wander and you can explore woodland trails, discovering sculptures along the way, while younger members of the party enjoy adventure playgrounds.
