A must for foodies - Michelin guide 2020
Decked with smooth oak furniture, huge black-framed sash windows and an art deco typeface, Fitzroy is unlike any other Fowey eatery in style. The menu sticks to sophisticated sharing plates, with an emphasis on seasonal seafood. Fill your table with fried sprats, ray wing with chicken butter sauce, raw sea bass with chilli and cucumber, and red napa cabbage with plum and sesame. It’s an open kitchen, so you can watch the chefs at work while sipping a glass of homemade vermouth

Italian dishes with a contemporary twist. So expect the likes of prosecco-battered polenta chips with ‘nduja ketchup; rose harissa fish stew with fregola sarda and rye toast; squid ink linguine with Padstow crab and anchovy pangrattato; and strawberry and lemon balm panna cotta for dessert. It’s also set to be the best place in Fowey for a negroni – there are a dozen types to choose from, including a negroni violetta, with its heady parma violet flavour. You’ll find both Italian and Cornish wine on the menu, with bottles from Trevibban Mill Estate taking precedence – try a glass of Black Ewe white sparkling, for its fine bubbles and green apple, lemon and sherbet notes.

The Aquarium is situated on the historic Fowey Town Quay and gives a fascinating glimpse into the marine life found around the Cornish coast. Although the aquarium is small in size, our visitors are constantly amazed by the variety of marine creatures on display.
In addition to a wide range of fish from the tiny gobies and shannies from the shallows up to Conger eels which inhabit deep wrecks, there are various types of crabs and lobsters lurking in the corners!
Children will especially enjoy the touch pool where they can pick up a shore crab or have their fingers tickled by prawns.
First established in 1952 the aquarium still retains many of the original tanks. Fresh sea water is pumped in daily at high tide and the filtration is minimal. This is a mixed blessing as keeping the clarity of the water acceptable is difficult at times but on the plus side are the various creatures such as sea-squirts, sponges and tube worms that arrive as plankton in the water and grow on in the aquarium.
The majority of fish are obtained locally from local fishermen and anglers.
We try to use local sources for the fish food, we are fortunate to have Ammodytes Ltd close by.

Lostwithiel is situated in a beautiful wooded valley at the tidal reach of the River Fowey. The name comes from two Cornish words meaning the place at the end of the woodland.
The town was founded by the Normans for the export of tin about 800 years ago. At that time, the river was wide and deep and ships tied up along the quay to load tin destined for many European ports. The town became the second busiest port on the south coast of England.
By the 13th century Lostwithiel had become the county capital. It was the administration centre for county affairs and Cornwall's main stannary town. Ironically, tin, which was the original source of the wealth of the town, eventually caused its decline. Rubble, from the mines on the moors, silted up the river, restricting the size of vessels that could use the quay.
Today there are numerous antique shops selling furniture, collectibles, ceramics and such things. Other shops, hidden in the old streets, specialise in arts and crafts, paintings, lace and patchwork. The museum is in the former Corn Exchange and has an interesting collection reflecting life in Lostwithiel over the past centuries. The local library is in a restored mediaeval house. It has an excellent selection of books on Cornwall and there are often exhibitions in the upstairs gallery.
Lostwithiel Farmers Market is held on the 4th Saturday of the month in the scout hut which is located in the free car park.
The market will be open from 10am until 1pm with a wide variety of stalls such as fresh fish, meat, vegetables, home baking, ales and apple juices with refreshments available.

Caerhays Castle is an English Heritage Grade 1 Listed Building and currently home to the Williams family. The Castle is opened for a short spell in the Spring.
Firstly it is a home. The contents show the ceaseless accumulations of its residents over the past 140 years. The geography of the house makes it impossible to give unlimited tours to large numbers of people at any one time so the size of each party is restricted to 12/15 people.
There are collections on display and the displays alter year by year but include Victorian Jugs, the crockery used for running the House (19th Century Houses were very labour intensive), the Bric-a-Brac of an Edwardian Billiard Room and much more.
Any house, large or small, depends upon the constant vigilance of its owner and you will see the results of the unremitting hard work of the staff in keeping everything clean, keeping wind and water out of the House and keeping at bay the ever present danger of destructive rot and termites. Over the years the House has been blessed by a long line of selfless and hard working people. It is hoped that their hard work will give pleasure to visitors as they wander around.
Details of the House tour have not been reproduced so as not to spoil the enjoyment of some elements of the tour.

Caerhays
Caerhays Castle is an English Heritage Grade 1 Listed Building and currently home to the Williams family. The Castle is opened for a short spell in the Spring.
Firstly it is a home. The contents show the ceaseless accumulations of its residents over the past 140 years. The geography of the house makes it impossible to give unlimited tours to large numbers of people at any one time so the size of each party is restricted to 12/15 people.

Castle Drogo is situated high above the Teign Gorge. It was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens for self-made millionaire Julius Drewe. It looks ancient, but this remarkable building was only constructed 100 years ago, the last castle ever built in England. From the beginning it has suffered from water penetration and is now undergoing a 6 year conservation project that will last until the end of 2019 to make it watertight.
Inside you can explore the castle‘s refreshed layout and precious treasures displayed in new ways. Some rooms have become storage areas whilst others are ‘back to normal’.
Outside the castle, stroll around the formal gardens or explore the Teign Valley with its ancient gorge, teeming with wildlife.
Or recharge at the café with a traditional Devon cream tea or tuck into a slice of cake.

200 acres of garden history, mystery and romance
Thirty years ago, Heligan’s historic gardens were unknown and unseen; lost to the brambles of time since the outbreak of WW1. It was only the chance discovery of a door in the ruins that led to the restoration of this once great estate. Today, The Lost Gardens have been put back where they belong: in pride of place among the finest gardens in England
