Fowey is one of Cornwall’s most historic and unspoilt seaport towns, which grew from a fisherman’s village and developed into an important naval seaport in the 14th Century as well as a busy base for pirates. Fowey is renowned for its safe, deep water anchorage and excellent sailing with the natural harbour at the mouth of the Fowey River being a charming and picturesque inlet between imposing headlands. The river is navigable for some six miles inland to the town of Lostwithiel, with a good depth of water for the first mile or so. Fowey has all of the activity of a busy working harbour with ships from many nations entering and leaving. A car/passenger ferry links Fowey with Bodinnick, running constantly during daylight hours. The town is an intricate maze of steep narrow streets formed by slate roofed granite houses and shops. It has survived the past century virtually unscathed by developments and has associations with Daphne du Maurier and Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch (Fowey is Troy Town in his novels). In August the harbour is the scene of the Royal Regatta, one of the country’s finest. Amenities include profuse seafood restaurants, pubs and antique shops, galleries, a small hospital, primary and secondary schools. The world famous Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan are both close by with St Catherine’s Castle (an English Heritage property), one of Henry VIII’s coastal fortifications, standing to the south of the town near Readymoney Beach. In a wide ranging survey, Fowey has previously been ranked as joint third of the best places in Britain for quality of life. Flat 1, 11 St Fimbarrus Road occupies an exceptional location within the town with all of the amenities within easy reach, boasting garaging which is a real asset within the town.
