Visiting the Fowey Aquarium: Pop into the charmingly old fashioned Fowey Aquarium on the Town Quay where you can literally get in touch with local sea creatures in the petting pool. A great nostalgic fishy fix.

Taking a ferry trip to Polruan: Take the passenger ferry across the harbour to Polruan and explore the narrow lanes that climb steeply through the village, or out towards the medieval blockhouse.

Hiring an open cockpit canoe: Take to the water yourself on an escorted river trip in an open cockpit canoe, perfect for observing the abundant river wildlife and a real adventure even if you're a total novice.

Taking a countryside hike: There are many fantastic coastal and woodland walks around the area including The Hall Walk which links Polruan with Bodinnick via the hidden creek at Pont.

Taking a River Cruise: See the town from the water with a trip on board one of the pleasure boats that regularly depart from the Town Quay steps. Cruises take you upriver past the docks, where you will see huge china clay ships being loaded with cargo, and out to sea taking in the best views of the town.

Visiting the Fowey Museum: Located in the town centre the Fowey Museum holds an interesting collection recording Fowey's rich and varied history. Includes the Daphne Du Maurier collection, Mayoral Regalia, costumes, old photographs, models of old sailing ships and postcards.
