Location - Nestled on Cornwall’s south coast between Looe and Mevagissey, Fowey is both a charming historic town and a thriving commercial port. Over time, the town has expanded to stretch for around a mile along the western side of the River Fowey, reaching all the way to the river mouth. Across the water lies the picturesque village of Polruan, linked to Fowey by a regular passenger ferry, while a nearby car ferry provides access between Fowey and Bodinnick further upstream.

Set within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Fowey offers a unique mix of scenery, heritage, and coastal activity. Its deep natural harbour attracts thousands of visiting yachts each year, making it a favourite destination for sailing enthusiasts. The port also plays an important commercial role, exporting China clay and welcoming large cargo vessels navigating the estuary. In recent years, impressive cruise liners have also become a familiar sight, arriving dramatically through the narrow harbour entrance before turning in the river and continuing upstream to their moorings, hidden from view around the river’s bend. The town itself is full of character, with a wonderful variety of independent shops, cafés, and galleries, many showcasing work by talented local artists. Rich in history and coastal charm, Fowey has long attracted writers, artists, and notable figures, making it one of Cornwall’s most distinctive and memorable destinations.
