And on Sunday, they enjoyed a ride on the Bodmin and Wenford steam railway and headed to the South Coast to see Charlestown and the pretty village of Fowey (pronounced Foye). One of the nicest ways to approach Fowey is to leave your car in Polruan on the opposite bank of the River Fowey and catch the pedestrian ferry across. In that way, you get to explore two riverside communities on foot.
Both the North and South Cornwall coasts are easily reached, for a memorable day out, from Cider Cottage.
