Fowey is a picturesque coastal town located between Looe and St Austell in Cornwall, England. The town sits on the banks of the River Fowey near Polruan and Polperro, and is surrounded by lush green hills and picturesque countryside. It has a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages and is known for its maritime heritage and association with the famous author Daphne du Maurier.
The town is small and compact, making it easy to explore on foot. Visitors can stroll along the quayside, taking in the sights and sounds of the boats and ships coming in and out of the harbour. The town is home to a variety of independent shops, cafes, and restaurants, many of which serve locally-sourced seafood.
One of the main attractions in Fowey is the St. Fimbarrus Church, which dates back to the 14th century. The church is located on a hill overlooking the town and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area. Another popular attraction is the Readymoney Cove, a beautiful sandy beach that is perfect for swimming and sunbathing.
Fowey is also a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, with many walking and cycling trails in the surrounding area. The South West Coast Path, a 630-mile long-distance footpath, runs through the town, providing walkers with stunning coastal views. The Fowey Estuary is also a popular spot for boating and sailing, with several marinas and boatyards in the area.
The town is also closely associated with the famous author Daphne du Maurier, who lived in Fowey for many years. Her house, Menabilly, is located just outside of the town and is open to the public for tours. Visitors can also take a guided tour of Fowey, which includes many of the places that inspired Du Maurier’s writing.
