The Fowey Estuary is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt in Cornwall, running inland as far as Lostwithiel and branches off to Lerryn, Penpoll and Pont on its tributary creeks. The deep water is a magnet for yachtsmen and it has inspired many authors, including Daphne du Maurier. The Estuary provides excellent opportunities for a variety of watersports including kayaking, paddleboarding, windsurfing, fishing etc. and the South West Coast Path provides spectacular coastal walking, passing some remote, beautiful beaches and coves.

The south coast of Cornwall is renowned for its beauty with its many beaches, coves, estuaries and rocky cliffs, whilst inland is attractive rolling countryside. The Eden Project is just over 6 miles away and The Lost Gardens of Heligan about 14 miles.
