Welcome to the Fowey Harbour Heritage Society Website
Fowey harbour, which includes the communities of Fowey, Bodinnick and Polruan, has been a significant international trading port since the medieval period and is still a working port today, exporting china clay. Our aim is to encourage you to explore the area and find out more about the places and people that have contributed to its heritage.

The Society introduces you to the rich and varied history of Fowey harbour and what you can see today by:
- Organising talks
- Publishing a journal - The Barquentine
- Presenting our heritage awards

Join Geraint Richards OBE, Head Forester to HM The King, for an autumn walk through Restormel Valley. The Restormel Valley, carved by the River Fowey, is a scenic landscape that features Restormel Castle, trails and woodlands, and the 17th-century Restormel Manor, all serving as a peaceful hub for the Duchy of Cornwall. As Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Ambassador for the Duchy of Cornwall, Geraint also champions access to nature.
