Local Area Information

There are lots of great things to do locally, here are just a few of our favourite things to do when staying at the cottage:

1: Walk into Fowey, there are lots of interesting shops, great restaurants and pubs, crabbing on the quay etc. (5 min walk)

3: Hall Walk, a beautiful circular walk you can do from the house, get the car ferry to Bodinnick, walk up the hill and turn right, the path leads you through stunning woodland with views over Fowey and Polruan. Eventually you will arrive in Polruan where you can stop at one of the two pubs in the vllage for a well earned rest, then get the passenger ferry back to Fowey quay and walk through the town back to the cottage. Or, of course you can do the walk the other way round if you wish!
