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.
Polkerris Beach is located in South East Cornwall and situated near St Austell. Polkerris is a stunning beach and the walk down past the winding lanes sets the scene for this beautiful beach. The beach is tucked away sheltered from the winds and being on the South East coast this doesn’t see much swell coming in meaning the waters are generally calm, perfect for swimming but always be cautious when entering the sea as there is no lifeguard patrol here. Polkerris also has a harbour wall which in summer you can see kids jumping into the sea from there.
