Lovely deli, also sells Malcolm Barnecutt's pasties which are my favourite! Richard and Roz are very friendly and know everything that's going on in Fowey. Richard's son, James, runs the butchers at Kilhallon.

Local butcher (and family friend) selling award winning sausages. James is found at the top of Driving Lane (road by the duck pond) at his factory site. He runs a small shop from the car park (cash only) or you can visit him in the main office where you can pay by card. Locally sourced meats, some of his own beef from his herd of Ruby Red Dexters. Much cheaper than the butcher in the village.
Call him on 01726 814926 and you can place an order over the phone and then go and collect. Karen runs the office during the week, if you call and say that you are staying at the Karen Barnett's in the village and you've been recommended he'll be most helpful I'm sure!

Getting Around
A short walk down the road, past the school to the Royal Inn at the end of the road. Cross over and go through the cut through to the mainline station which is on the Penzance to London line. Branch line to Newquay too. You can park for free at the station.

Come out of the Close, turn left onto Belmont Street and at the end at the junction with the main street through the village is the bus stop. This bus takes you to Fowey. In the opposite direction it will take you on to St Austell.

Sightseeing
Beautiful little Cornish village with lots of nice shops and views across the River Fowey. Regatta week is 13th - 19th of August with the Red Arrows on the Thursday evening. Best viewed from Polruan side this year I have been told.
There is a free car park at the top of town although this gets really full in the summer. It's just off Park Road, just before you get to the primary school there is a road off to the left and the car park is there on the right opposite the park. It's then a walk down into town. There's a large P&D car park off Hanson Drive slightly further down the road.

Lovely little beach. Has a watersports centre, brilliant ice cream shop (selling Treleavens which is the best), the Rashleigh Inn and Sams on the Beach so you don't have to take food with you.
Car park is part way down the hill. Expect to have to reverse back or up the hill as you go/come back as it's a popular spot. Alternatively you can walk there along the coast path which you can pick up from the Par Beach car park. Takes about 30 minutes from Par.
At high tide it's a popular spot for jumping off the wall into the sea, sometimes they have the pontoon out too so you can swim out to that. A lovely day out at the beach! We always choose the left hand side of the beach (habit)!!

Beautiful little harbour, used for many films over the years. They've filmed Poldark there too. Worth a little trip to have a look around.

Take the Bodinnick Ferry from Fowey and drive over to Lansallos/Lantic Bay. Quite isolated and lovey. There's a National Trust car park that you can park at and walk down to the beach. Put it in satnav as it's not easy to describe how to get there with a word limit!

Made popular by Rick Stein but a very beautiful part of the Cornish Coast. Gets very busy in the summer. Visit Padstow and you can also hop across the river on the foot ferry to Rock.

Lots of lovey beaches around this area. Mother Ivey's, Harlyn, Daymer, Treyarnon and closer to Rock - Daymer Bay. St Merryn has a Malcolm Barnecutt's bakery, Spar shop, pizza restuarant etc so you can stop off here on the way/way back from the beach.

If you're feeling brave and want a visit to the far West then head to Porthcurno area. Truly breathtaking coastline and very beautiful. The Minack Theatre is located at Porthcurno along with the Telegraph Museum. Kynance Cove is also a stunning location nearby. Drive to Penzance and just keep going!!

Time it right and you can walk across the causeway at low tide. An iconic point in Mounts Bay. Pay to enter the grounds and house.

6 miles away, located on the River Fowey. Lots of antique shops, cafes and pubs. Good for a look around. There's Restormel Castle which was home to the Black Prince located 1 mile out of the town with great views from the top. It's an ancient ruin but you can walk around the top of the castle and take in the views. Worth a visit and entry is minimal!

Our only city! Cobbled streets and all the usual shopping, cathedral located in the heart of the city centre. Royal Cornwall Museum is here which is a fair size, lots of good places to eat but if you've come to Cornwall from another city you may well be underwhelmed as it's a very small city!

There's a park next to the river with BBQ area. The children love playing in the shallow river here and there are several walking/biking trails that are more advanced than Lanhydrock. Part of the Forestry Commission.

Arts & Culture
Well known for it's creative scene. Gets very busy in the summer so if you visit it might be best to go on the train. Change at Hayle onto the branch line for a scenic trip to St Ives. The Tate St Ives along with several other galleries and potteries. Very quaint Cornish Streets with all the usual seaside shops. Can also be reached by train - change at Truro.

The campsite has a swimming pool that non residents can use. It's small but clean and warm! £3.50 I think for a child. Will get busy on rainy days but you can walk there.

Larger swimming pool complex with slide and separate lane swimming pool. Also on a campsite so it does get very busy but they control the numbers in and out. On the way from/to Mevagissey and near the Lost Gardens of Heligan. The campsite has a HubBox burger joint right on the beach too so you could make a whole day in this area sightseeing, stop in for a swim and burgers!
