LOCATION

The majority of the picturesque village of Lerryn lies in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It has a delightful atmosphere that has made it very popular with residents and visitors alike.

The river is a tidal tributary of the River with access to the open sea. It is a fabulous playground for boating activities, fishing, swimming, walking and bird watching. The river valley is frequented by many resident and migrant species of bird including waterfowl.

The village is delightfully unspoilt, still mainly comprising traditional houses and cottages, on both sides of the river, surrounded by pristine countryside, beautiful woodland and public footpaths that stretch down both riverbanks towards Golant and Fowey.

Centred around the village shop, hall, pub and primary school, Lerryn also has a strong and active local community; a communal minibus; an amateur dramatic society; several activities organised by the Village Hall Association and the Yacht Squadron.

4 Ref: LCAA8184 Short drives along the local lanes provide access to the dramatic Cornwall Coast Path and some wonderful beaches to the east of Fowey, famously frequented by Daphne De Maurier, whose beautiful house, next to the ferry at Boddinnick is still owned by her family.

Across the river from Boddinnick, Fowey, with its good range of shops, is approximately 30 minutes away by car from Lerryn and (depending on your means of propulsion) 45 minutes by boat. Fowey has one of the deepest natural harbours in the world which gave rise to its operational commercial port and enables the occasional passenger cruise liner to visit. The Royal Fowey and Gallant yacht clubs provide regular racing for yachts and dinghies. In August the town also hosts its famous Fowey Regatta which regularly features the Red Arrows aerial display team and a wide variety of entertainments and events, both on and off the water.

Closer to and under four miles from Lerryn, Lostwithiel is served by the main London Paddington to intercity line with regular fast trains and a travel time from London of approximately 4 hours. Lostwithiel also has a supermarket, butchers, antique and specialist craft shops, pubs, restaurants and a doctor’s surgery.

The nearest major towns are (approximately 10 miles) and (approximately 12 miles), , Cornwall’s capital city is approximately 32 miles to the south west.

Nearby attractions include an 18-hole golf course at Lostwithiel and the National Trust Lanhydrock House, the Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan.
