Fowey is a small town in Cornwall, southwestern England whose name means “Beech Trees” in the Cornish language. The town is an important cargo port located at the mouth of the River Fowey. The town has been in existence since the 1300’s. In more recent times the importance of the Fowey harbor diminished as larger ports like Plymouth gained most of the trade. As a result, more importance was given to fishing and mining, which became the main source of the town’s economic growth. The town has a bustling tourism market, which means visitors will have plenty of things to see and do during their stay here!
