Bodinnick

Bodinnick is a fishing village on the east bank of the River Fowey opposite Fowey and about four miles from Portruan. There is a ferry service between Fowey and Bodinnick. Daphne du Maurier wrote many of her novels when living at "Ferryside" on the river bank at Bodinnick. Historically the village is an important ferry terminal for people travelling from Fowey, with the "Old Ferry Inn" close to the bank of the river. Scenic walks can be taken along the Polruan River on the route known as the Hall Walk. This walk takes you around Pont Creek which is joined to an estuary at Pelene Point which leads to the chapel of St Wyllow.
