Around Fowey

Readymoney Cove: This is a pretty, small beach in Fowey. It can be reached by a 10

minute walk down a footpath almost directly opposite the house. 

Polridmouth: A lovely quieter beach a walk away from the house along the coast.

Polkerris: Sandy beach, gets quite busy, good for water sports. 90 minute walk along the coast from the house.

The North Coast: A 45 min drive away but big sandy beaches - good for surfing.

From Readymoney cove you can walk up to St Catherine’s Castle and onto the cliffs.

Lovely views and a good run but be careful on the narrow paths.

You can also reach the cliffs by turning right out of the house and at the little

roundabout bear left onto Lankelly lane. Go straight to the end and turn left at the

fork and follow the road to the car park. Just before the car park take the track on the

left that leads to a gate and this will take you out onto the fields on the top of the

cliffs. Another good short run or add to a castle loop to make longer!

If you follow the costal path from the castle it takes you all the way to Polridmouth

beach (Pronounced Pridmuth). No loos or amenities. .

From Polridmoth you can walk to ‘The Gribbin’ the lighthouse and even all the way

round to Polkerris beach which has 2 great pubs and a lovely restaurant called

Sam’s on the Beach (booking essential).

The Hall Walk: Our favourite walk. Walk all the way through town to the Bodinnick

car ferry and cross the river to the other side. Follow signs to the Hall Walk which is

off to the right up the hill. The walk takes an hour or so and follows the coast all the

way round to Polruan which is opposite Fowey. Once in Polruan you can take the

passenger ferry from the quay back over to Fowey. Can be done the other way

round too..

Visit the lovely town of Fowey  by turning left along Polvillion Road. Keep walking down the hill into town. 10 minute walk. Lots of shops and pubs and a pretty harbour.

Our fave shops are:

The Quay Bakery - Monkey 

Muffins on a Saturday are a must

Nile's Bakery - for the best pasties

Kittoes: Butcher and deli - lovely cheese

The Safe Harbour pub - great for a pint and a game of snooker

Webb Street/Clementine - lovely pretty things

So many to choose from! Here are some of our faves!
