Fowey in Cornwall

Fowey Introduction

 
Fowey is a small town and cargo port at the mouth of the River Fowey in south Cornwall, and has ferries across the river to Polruan (foot) and Bodinnick (vehicle). There are many historic buildings in the town, including the ruins of St Catherine's Castle, while Readymoney Cove possesses a local beach. Fowey has thrived as a port for hundreds of years, initially as a trading and naval town, then as the centre for china clay exports. Today Fowey is busy with tourists as wells as trawlers and yachts. The surrounding coastline is popular with fishermen, whose catch includes mullet, bass, mackerel, lobsters and cuttlefish. Many of the species can be seen in the Fowey Aquarium in the heart of the town, which includes a very rare Albino Bull Huss. The seafood served in many of Fowey's restaurants comes from the Fowey estuary, or the sea just outside it. The Royal Fowey Yacht Club is based on the harbour front. A regatta is held in the third week of August every year and there is a Christmas Market each year held on a weekend in December.
