Golant quay: the railway gets in the way. This view from the quayside road at Golant shows how the little quay is separated from the river by the branch line to Fowey (not now a passenger carrying route). The main navigable quay at Golant is a little farther downriver, where the road crosses the railway line to allow access - from where this picture was taken: 495276.

Popular places to visit

Readymoney Cove is a south-east facing sandy beach to the south of the harbour town of Fowey. It is sheltered by cliffs close to the mouth of the River Fowey Estuary and bounded, on one side, by the medieval town of Fowey and, on the other, by St Catherine's Castle. The beach can be covered during spring tides. The beach is cleaned daily during high season, and a bathing platform is moored in the bay. #Fowey #Cornwall #waterlust #beach #southengland #outdoors #landscapes #England #placestovisit
