Fowey Cornwall

Filed under South East Cornwall

With a jumble of narrow streets and buildings overlooking the waterfront, crowding in from all sides Fowey’s (pronounced ‘Foy’) true face is seen from the river of opposite shore. Situated on the south coast of Cornwall between Looe and Mevagissey, Fowey is not just an historic town but also a commercial seaport.

Fowey now stretches for roughly a mile along the west bank of the River Fowey to the river’s mouth.

Situated on the opposite bank is the village of Polruan. A regular passenger ferry connects with Polruan on the opposite bank and further up river a car ferry runs from Fowey to Bodinnick.

Driving through Fowey should be avoided at the busiest times. A main car park is situated at the entrance of the town and signed from the A3082.
