……. is considered by many to be one of the most attractive and unspoiled areas on the South coast. The river Fowey rises on Bodmin Moor and meanders through wonderful countryside towards Fowey’s natural harbour and the sea. Many fascinating hours can be spent just watching the river. The huge China Clay boats regularly pass by on their way to the loading wharf up-river and to see the tugs turn these boats in the entrance to Pont Pil (the creek just opposite the apartment window) is a sight well worth watching.

For those who enjoy walking there are numerous local routes, many through land owned by the National Trust. Whether you enjoy a gentle stroll or prefer more of a challenge you will find something to suit your taste.
