Fowey is a small port which still is busy to this day, providing scenic moorings for leisure boats; the harbour is flanked by fourteenth-century blockhouses, one in Fowey and one of the opposite sides of the river in Polruan, from which chains were suspended to close the harbour mouth way back when. You can still visit the Polruan blockhouse but unfortunately, the Fowey blockhouse is closed but there still remains a good view from Fowey. In the second World War, Fowey was the main town for air-sea rescue and also one of the places from which D-Day invasions were launched.
