About Fowey

Designated as an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty', Fowey has much to offer with something for everyone.

A natural harbour, it is a haven for yachtsmen and we have had as many as 7,000 visiting yachts in a season.

Fowey is the major exporting port for China Clay and as such you will often see the ships making their way in and out of the harbour.

Over the last few years Fowey has been a popular destination for several cruise liners, whose passengers are able to enjoy the delights of the town.

What a sight to see these enormous ships come through the narrow harbour entrance, turn in the middle of the river and be pulled upstream to their mooring, the commercial jetties are concealed by a natural bend in the river. (courtesy of www.fowey.co.uk)
