Fowey Estuary
naturalOne of the most scenic estuaries in England, the Fowey has inspired writers from Kenneth Grahame to Daphne du Maurier. The river winds through steep wooded valleys to the sea at the medieval town of Fowey, and a network of ferries, footpaths and woodland trails connects the communities on both banks. The Hall Walk — a circular route combining ferry crossings and cliff paths — is one of Cornwall's great short walks.

Readymoney Cove
beachReadymoney Cove is a memorable stretch of Cornwall coast near Polruan, known for its sand, Atlantic light and easy access to the sea.

St Catherine's Castle
historicA small blockhouse built by Henry VIII to defend the mouth of Fowey harbour, St Catherine's Castle stands on a wooded headland above Readymoney Cove. Though never tested in battle, it retains its original form remarkably well. The wooded path down from Fowey through Hall Walk to the castle, with views across the estuary, is one of the loveliest short walks in south Cornwall.
