Photos of St Austell - Fowey Area
and its surroundings

The woodland at Lerryn inspired the children's novel, The Wind in the Willows and also the TV series, Tales of the Riverbank.

There are woodlands on both sides of the Lerryn River. This woodland can be accessed by following the river bank from the car park, past the tea garden and walking downstream.

These stunning, brightly coloured lakes are produced in the working of China Clay.

A favourite film and TV location used in many productions including the Poldark series.

Polruan in the foreground separated from the ancient town of Fowey by the River Fowey, a natural harbour. Fowey has been a port for many centuries and has been in existence since the 1300s.

The river rises on Bodmin Moor. The extent of its tidal reach is Lostwithiel.

Hallane Beach is a hidden gem on Cornwall's south coast between Pentewan and Porthpean. Visiting the beach involves a strenuous walk from a very small car parking area with the return walk up a steep lane.

The best way to visit Hallane Beach is when walking the coast path between Mevagissey and Porthpean.
