FoweyThe town of Fowey, pronounced Foy not Fowee!, lies on the south coast of Cornwall between Looe and Mevagissey. Fowey (Cornish: Fowydh) is a small town, civil parish and cargo port at the mouth of the River Fowey with a population of 2,273 in the 2001 Census. Fowey has thrived as a port for hundreds of years, initially as a military town, then as the centre for china clay exports although that business is slowly diminishing. Fowey is the home of the Treffry family who live in Place House, from whom prolific 1800s Cornish industrialist Joseph Treffry came. Today Fowey is busy with trawlers and yachts, the Royal Fowey Yacht Club being on its front. The seafood served in many of its restaurants comes from the Fowey estuary, or the sea just outside it. A few miles away from the town is Golant's 'Sawmill Recording Studios', which has been frequented by the likes of Oasis, the Stone Roses and Muse, as well as local bands
The town has grown over the years and now stretches for about a mile along the west bank of the River Fowey to the mouth of the river. Fowey is in the South Coast (Eastern Section) of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and lies at the end of the Saints' Way. The town 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 boasts an excellent selection of quality shops and galleries, many exhibiting local works. If you are looking for refreshment be it a pint, a cream tea, fish and chips, a family meal or a gourmet dinner for a special occasion, then there is something to suit all tastes. Fowey hosts the Du Maurier Literary Festival in June each year after Dame Daphne Du Maurier, probably the town's most favourite resident. Du Maurier actually lived at Menabilly, some three miles southwest of the town and it is thought the blue print for 'Manderley' in her famous book Rebecca.
