Mixtow

Mixtow is a hamlet in the Lanteglos-by-Fowey parish in south east Cornwall, England. Set on the north side of an inlet off the River Fowey and facing Fowey Docks, it occupies a tucked-in riverside spot that hints at estuarine rhythms. The hamlet’s position opposite the docks places it within sight of the working waterfront across the water, while remaining part of the rural parish of Lanteglos-by-Fowey. Mixtow falls within the PL23 postcode district, in the county of Cornwall and the South West region. Mentioned on local maps and parish references as a small settlement rather than a town or village, it is one of the many intimate places that punctuate Cornwall’s waterways. For those navigating the River Fowey or exploring the parish, Mixtow marks a quietly specific point on the map — a hamlet on an inlet, looking across to Fowey Docks and rooted in the landscape of south east Cornwall.
