cornwall (part I)

First stop Fowey (pronounced Foy / Foi).

A picturesque historic town and seaport on the south coast of Cornwall.  Fowey has little lanes, steep hills, pastel coloured cottages squeezed next to each other and lots of little galleries and local shops.  All this is just a few steps away from the harbour and River Fowey.  A haven for all things nautical - from dingies and canoes to fishing boats, little car ferries and the odd cruiseliner (that somehow manages to squeeze in amongst all the little fishing boats).

Here's a few sights from around this lovely town, the first stop on our Cornish vacation.
