What to expect
Lerryn
A small village upstream from Fowey and the riverbank was the inspiration for Kenneth Graham, most famous for “The Wind in the Willows” to write “Tales of the Riverbank”.
10 minutes
Fowey Harbour
Fowey is a small town with even smaller streets! A popular place for visiting yachts, it’s also a port for the China clay industry. Experience travelling on the Bodinnick vehicle ferry to the Polruan side of The Fowey river.
10 minutes
The Hurlers (3 stone circles)
A group of 3 stone circles probably used for ceremonies. According to local legend they are named after a group of men who were turned to stone for playing hurlers on a Sunday.
20 minutes
Trevethy Quoit
This is the best preserved Neolithic quoit in Cornwall from around 3500 - 2500 BC.
20 minutes
Charlestown
This UNESO site and Georgian harbour is probably best known in recent times as the port of Truro in Poldark, although it’s also featured in many other films such as The Onedin Line, Dr Who and The Three Musketeers.

St Breock Downs Monolith
Cornwall’s largest monolith and a fantastic view over the Cornish countryside as well. The standing stone dates from The Bronze Age and weighs around 17 tonnes.

Castle an Dinas
This is one of the best preserved Neolithic hillforts. On a clear day there is an impressive 360 degree view of Cornwall and it’s easy to see why early settlers chose this place to guard their land.
