The historic town of Lostwithiel

The Situation

Close to the waterfront, these two modern first floor apartments are ideally situated for exploring the best that Cornwall can offer. A 5-minute stroll will take you into the centre of the historic port of Fowey with its picturesque narrow streets, restaurants, inns and interesting shops.

Local ferries across the harbour to Bodinnick & Polruan make it easy to enjoy the area & also form part of the famous Hall Walk that takes in some fabulous scenery. The ferry across the bay to Mevagissey is a great day out and ideal for a trip to the Lost Gardens of Heligan.

Directions:
Take the A38 from Plymouth & stay on this road until you reach a set of traffic lights in a village called Dobwalls.  At this point the road forks; take the left turn onto the A390 marked St Austell.  Follow the A390 for about 6 miles to the small town of Lostwithiel.  Travel through the town & up the steep hill.  Once you reach the top of the hill, take the next B road on the left, after about half a mile.  This is the B3269, marked Fowey.  Follow the B3269 to the ourskirts of Fowey (about 5 miles), where you will come to a roundabout.  Turn Left at the roundabout, marked Ferry, Bodinnick, Looe. (Do not go straight on or you will come into the narrow town streets).  Once you have turned left, follow the road down the hill where it becomes a narrow lane (take care in the narrow sections).  Follow the lane until you pass the entrance to the Docks and then you will see Chuffers on the corner.  There is a pay & display car park right opposite.
