We visted Fowey a couple of times last year while on a family holiday. Staying in Looe we drove around to Fowey and found a car park at the top of the Village. Little did I know what a steep hill we had to walk down to get to the hub of the village. (Definitely recommend sensible footwear if you take the walking option) We walked all the way down, not realising that there is a car park mini bus which will take you there in more comfort. Idon't know how much this would have been because I didn't get on it, but judging by the River Taxi fares, i would expect it to be very reasonable. There are few small shops in the Village and a museum and banks. By the waterside, there is a fish and chip restaurant, the usual ice-cream stand and some Public Houses. Views are beautiful across the water and there are lots of boat trips on offer. The second time we visted Fowey during our stay, we crossed from Polruen on a river taxi. Again, we parked at the top of this village, as its mainly car free, and had, I think an even steeper walk down to get the boat. Not much in this village, I hasten to add, and the walk back up to the car park was a killer (no mini bus), but bearable with sensible shoes. The river taxi itself was very reasonable. It was about £0.90 each, and rune very regularly. Worth an experience

I love Fowey, we stayed in the B&B on the quay at Polruan and walked every inch of the river and the cliffs. We had another holiday in a cottage at the top of the hill in Polruan at Christmas. magic place
