Lying on the south coast of Cornwall between Looe and Mevagissey is the wonderful town of Fowey. The town lies along the west bank of the River Fowey with the village of Polruan on the opposite side. Fowey is a hugely popular town during the summer months and the harbour becomes a haven to many boat owners while further up the river are the docks where ships are loaded up with china clay ready to be exported.

Window View
Looking up the Fowey Estuary through a window in the blockhouse at Polruan. The blockhouse was used together with the one on the opposite side of the river in Fowey, to protect the harbour from enemy ships when they would have a chain running between both blockhouses.
