A pretty riverside town, nestling in the Fowey river valley amid picturesque woodlands and valleys, Lostwithiel is known as a centre for the antiques trade where time can be lost whilst browsing its curio and lifestyle shops that line the interesting streets. The town also boasts a fine collection of country pubs, restaurants and a thriving farmer’s market. The maritime town of Fowey, popular with sailing enthusiasts is within easy driving distance, as it the popular coastal destinations of Mevagissey and Padstow, with the famous Rick Stein restaurants. Lanhydrock House and gardens is just 3 miles away, while other places to visit include Boconnoc House, and the world famous Eden Project. For days on the beach, the long sandy beaches and dramatic coastline of Newquay and the Atlantic coast attract families and surfers year round.
