Birthday in Fowey

As we woke this morning to beautiful blue skies and warm sunshine we decided to have a day out exploring Fowey. We had an enjoyable birthday lunch in the King of Prussia, overlooking the harbour watching people on the river having a great time.

After lunch we hired a motorboat to explore the river Fowey. From the deepwater jetty upriver, where a large bulk carrier was unloading sand and salt for Cornwall's roads next winter, to the secluded backwater opposite the main jetty where the cormorants and herons fished with obvious enthusiasm, there was so much going on that the time flew by.

The church with its stunning stained glass windows and spectacular beamed roof is well worth a visit. For those wishing to keep fit, the walk back to the main car park is certainly a challenge.
