The Location - Fowey Harbour is a charming and picturesque inlet between imposing headlands extending for about six miles inland to Lostwithiel with a good depth of water for the first mile or so along with a number of tributaries to explore. Fowey has all the activity of a busy working harbour with ships from many nations entering and leaving.
A passenger ferry links Polruan with Fowey, and a car ferry links the nearby Bodinnick with Fowey, both running constantly during daylight hours providing easy access to the town's shops and amenities. The area generally is one of Outstanding Natural Beauty with much of the land on the neighbouring headlands being in the ownership of the National Trust (including the beautiful 'hidden' Lantic Bay) with a beautiful coastal footpath known as the Hall Walk running between Polruan and Bodinnick and continuing along the south Cornish coast.
