WITHIN EASY REACH The River Fowey is a charming and picturesque estuary which joins the sea off south Cornwall between Readymoney Cove and Polruan, stretching upstream for about 6 miles to the historic town of Lostwithiel, with a good deep water channel until just short of Golant, renowned for its safe anchorage and sailing. In the summer months Fowey is a haven for sailors with the Royal Fowey Yacht Club and the Gallants Sailing Club at opposite ends of the main street, both overlooking the harbour and moored yachts, and both playing host to regular racing. The harbour has all the activity of a busy working harbour with ships of many nations entering and leaving, whilst the town itself is one of Cornwall's most historic and unspoilt seaport towns. Much of the wooded banks opposite Fowey which surround Pont Pill creek are in the ownership of the National Trust. The beautiful coastal footpath known as the Hall Walk runs between Polruan and Bodinnick and continues along the South Cornish coast. The novelist Daphne du Maurier came to Fowey in her early twenties and immediately fell in love with the town, living for many years at Bodinnick where her parents bought a house in 1926. It was here she wrote The Loving Spirit which was published in 1931. Today the Fowey Festival of Arts & Literature is an important annual event in the Fowey calendar. There are mainline rail stations at nearby Bodmin Parkway, St Austell, Par and Lostwithiel. The south coast port of Polperro is 6.5 miles away with Looe about 9 miles to the east and the old market town of Liskeard is about 15 miles distant. The city of Plymouth is approximately 35 miles to the east. There are also daily flights to London from Newquay Airport on the north Cornish Coast.
