A familiar TV and film location. You can explore 100 years of fishing, smuggling and migration at the Shipwreck and Heritage Centre.

Historic seafaring town. Boats of every description can be seen and a trip up river shows spectacular scenery which inspired many of the famous writers who loved Fowey.

The Daphne Du Maurier Festival takes place in May.

Still a working harbour. Boats from here bring back the skate, lobster, plaice and sole served in the many characterful pubs and restaurants.

The tiny streets winding past shops and cob cottages spill down to the distinctive twin harbours. The 'Lost Gardens of Heligan' are just to the north.

A popular sheltered sailing centre on the Roseland Peninsula. Often compared to a Mediterranean village, this is the place to take up your brushes and capture Cornwall on canvas.

Be sure to visit the St Just in Roseland Church, set in sub-tropical gardens. The King Harry Ferry takes you from here over the Fal River to Falmouth or Truro.

Once the 13th Century capital of Cornwall with Tudor bridge and Restormel Castle, besieged in the Civil War.

The ancient buildings along the narrow streets now house ancient shops where you can hunt for bargains. Though easily reached by road, a more picturesque approach is from the River Fowey. The National Trust Lanhydrock House is just to the north.

Cornwall's county town and commercial centre with the three spires Cathedral, County Museum, Art Gallery and the Hall for Cornwall, a performing arts venue with year round programme.
