Author Daphne du Maurier made Polruan, a little fishing community perched atop a sloping slope on the Fowey estuary, famous. It features a little beach, is still unspoiled, and still exudes the vibe of a bygone boat manufacturing village. One of only five Polruan chain towers known to exist in England, the Polruan Blockhouse is a diminutive building constructed next to a river or a harbour to house the mechanism for raising and lowering a defensive chain to block the passage of ships during dangerous times. It is the first chain tower to be built, along with the tower on the other side of the River Fowey. The community features bars, a local shop, a gift shop and a post office. You can get to Fowey, which has a variety of upscale stores and restaurants, by taking a five-minute ferry ride. The Fowey Regatta, which takes place in August, is a fun-filled week of activities and events that features RNLI demonstrations, a funfair, breathtaking firework displays and a showcase of vintage ships.

Cornwall’s visitors are constantly tempted back to the beautiful coastline, tiny fishing villages, hidden coves and the world-class surfing. Whatever the reason, Cornwall has long cemented its place as one of Britain’s premier holiday destinations.
