4.9/5 ⭐Google 600+ Reviews | A+ Better Business Bureau

Overview
Fowey (pronounced "Foy") is an enchanting coastal town nestled on the west bank of the Fowey Estuary in Cornwall, England. Renowned for its picturesque harbor, narrow winding streets, and rich maritime history, it has long been a haven for sailors and a source of inspiration for writers, most notably Daphne du Maurier. The town's deep-water natural harbor has been a strategic port for centuries, playing roles in trade, fishing, and naval defense.
Cruise ships visiting Fowey typically anchor in the deep natural harbor within the estuary and tender passengers ashore to the town quay. This allows for direct access to the heart of Fowey, with its charming independent shops, art galleries, cafes, and pubs, all set against a backdrop of stunning Cornish scenery. Fowey offers cruise passengers a quintessential Cornish experience, blending nautical heritage with artistic flair and beautiful coastal walks.
Wander through Fowey's delightful town center, with its steep, narrow streets (some pedestrian-only) leading down to the bustling harborside. Discover independent boutiques, art galleries, traditional pubs, and cafes.
Tip: Many streets are very steep; wear comfortable walking shoes. Enjoy a pasty or cream tea from a local bakery.
Discover the impressive St Fimbarrus Church, a beautiful parish church with a tall tower offering excellent views of the town and estuary. The church has a rich history dating back to the 14th century.
Tip: Check the opening times for climbing the tower for panoramic views, if available.
Embark on a scenic coastal walk along the Gribbin Headland, which offers stunning views of the Fowey estuary mouth, the coastline, and the distinctive red-and-white striped daymark tower at Gribbin Head.
Tip: This walk provides fantastic photo opportunities and a chance to experience the rugged beauty of the Cornish coast. The path can be uneven.
Enjoy a leisurely boat trip along the Fowey River estuary. These cruises offer unique perspectives of the town, Passagemore, Polruan, and the lush, wooded banks, often pointing out local wildlife and historic sites.
Tip: Various operators offer different lengths of trips; inquire at the quay for options and schedules.
Take a short, pleasant walk from the town centre to Readymoney Cove, a sheltered, sandy beach perfect for swimming and relaxing, especially at high tide. It's a popular spot with a lovely view of the estuary.
Tip: This beach is family-friendly and offers amenities like a small shop/cafe during peak season.
Follow in the footsteps of famous author Daphne du Maurier, who lived near Fowey and drew immense inspiration from the area for her novels (e.g., "Rebecca," "Frenchman's Creek"). Visit her former homes (exterior viewing only) or sites that inspired her works.
Tip: Look for local information or walking tours focusing on du Maurier's connections to the area to enhance your visit.
