Fabulous Fowey
The town of Fowey has a unique unspoilt ancient charm which holds a special fascination for visitors of all ages.
The medieval and Tudor cottages, narrow steep winding streets with glimpses of the shimmering river below, busy with yachts and boats; cobbled walkways perfumed with flowers from hanging baskets and window boxes and the quays bustling with life, all help to enchant the holiday maker, many of whom choose to visit us year after year.
The town has strong connections with the world famous author, Dame Daphne Du Maurier, who spent most of her life in the area. A Daphne Du Maurier festival is held each May, which is a celebration of her life and work.
Fowey Regatta week, in August, is a hugely popular event, with competitive sailing events, street carnival, the Red Arrows display team and much more.
The multitude of sailing dinghies, yachts, schooners and motor launches either moored or sailing in the estuary is an impressive sight to behold.
The Fowey Estuary has to be one of the most attractive and unspoilt parts of Britain's South coast. The peaceful Fowey river is surrounded by many miles of lovely open countryside, much of which is in the ownership of the National Trust.
The North Cornwall coast with its sandy surfing beaches and the cathedral city of Truro are all within easy reach.
