Fowey Estuary

natural

One 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.
