Fowey - Cornwall - England - 4K Virtual Walk
Join us for a walk around Fowey, Cornwall, England. Our walk starts on Fowey Town Quay with beautiful picturesque views over the River Fowey and across to Polruan. From here you can catch the Polruan passenger ferry, which is well worth the trip! We stroll through Fowey town centre, past Fowey Harbour and the RNLI Fowey Lifeboat Station. We walk down to Caffa Mill Car Park and Fowey Custom House Quay Ferry Landing for the Bodinnick Ferry. Strolling back through town we explore some of the narrow streets and enjoy views of the river from high above the rooftops! We walk along Fowey Esplanade passing the beautiful Fowey Old Grammar School Garden and the bright red Whitehouse Point lighthouse, we finish our walk at Whitehouse Quay.
Thanks for watching, we hope you enjoy!

Fowey is a small town, civil parish and cargo port at the mouth of the River Fowey in south Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is at the entrance to a large flooded valley created after the last ice age by the melt waters that caused the sea level to rise dramatically, creating a large natural harbour which is navigable for its last seven miles.
Fowey is in the South Coast (Eastern Section) of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It lies at the end of the Saints' Way 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.
The town has been in existence since well before the Norman invasion, with the local church first established some time in the 7th century; the estuary of the River Fowey forms a natural harbour which enabled the town to become an important trading centre. Privateers also made use of the sheltered harbourage. The Lostwithiel and Fowey Railway brought China clay here for export.
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 trawlers and yachts. Tourism is also an important source of income, contributing £14m to the local economy and accounting for more than half of the jobs in the town.
Both vehicle and foot ferry services cross the river to Bodinnick and Polruan. A ship to shore water taxi service operates from Easter until the end of October and a foot ferry to the fishing village of Mevagissey runs from 1 May to 1 October, weather permitting.
The surrounding coastline of Fowey is popular with fishermen and spear-fishermen. Many sea creatures can be seen all around the Cornish shoreline, including 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 Royal Fowey Yacht Club is based on the harbour front. A Pilot Gig Rowing Club races in and around Cornwall, with an event at Fowey being held the same week as the Regatta. The club launches from Caffa Mill slip. Fowey Golf Club was founded in 1894 and continued until the late 1940s.
Daphne du Maurier (1907-1989) English author and playwright; lived in Fowey. Her works include Rebecca, an adaptation of which won the best Picture Oscar in 1941, Jamaica Inn and numerous short stories including The Birds and Don't Look Now that were turned into films. The du Maurier Festival Society runs the Fowey Festival of Arts and Literature each May, the month of her birth.
A number of entertainers have primary and secondary residences around the town including: Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, Dawn French, Gloria Hunniford, and former Blue Peter presenter Janet Ellis.

I am seriously looking forward to this as I lived just across the river in Polruan when I was a child. Just this second got home from work. Cracking open a tin. GREAT!!! One slight correction if I may. The author Daphne Du Mauirer lived in Bodinnick. If you pause the video at 22:35 you can see the house that she lived in. 52:48 - When I was 9 years old I swam from Polruan across the river to that little beach!
