On the Fowey River

We recently visited the Old Ferry Inn at Bodinnick, only 25 mins drive from Cider Cottage. There are lovely views from the garden terraces and restaurant, over the river across to Fowey and out to the sea. Opposite the inn is 'Ferryside', the former family home of Daphne du Maurier. 

The beautiful harbour town of Fowey can by visited on the car ferry or as a foot passenger further down the river at Polruan.  A definite ‘must see’ on any visit to Cornwall.

Wind in the willows

Last week we decided to try the round trip walk from Lerryn to St Winnow Church on the River Fowey estuary. Lerryn is  a lovely little village that spreads itself around both banks of River Lerryn creek and is just 20 minutes drive from Cider Cottage.  There is a village green right next to the water and at low tide stepping stones appear, to allow access to the other side of the village.

The area is delightful and is the probable inspiration for the Wind in the Willows story. We had a very pleasant walk next to the water and through wooded areas reaching the lovely remote St.Winnow Church on the bank of the River Fowey. It’s a favourite with film crews, and featured in the TV series Poldark - not surprising as it must have one of the most spectacular views from a churchyard in Britain.  Our return trip gave super views back down to the church and river, crossing fields and heading inland past the disused Winnow Mill, before returning to Lerryn for refreshments.

    Lynn and Peter Murnaghan moved from Winchester, Hampshire to Woodhill Manor in Summer 2011. We then spent a good deal of time and energy renovating Cider Cottage to create a fabulous self-catering holiday venue for discerning guests.
