LOCATION This select and desirable terrace of Victorian houses enjoy a wonderful elevated setting within the picturesque and sought after village of Golant on the banks of the Fowey River with a tidal pool which carries the right for villagers to moor boats on its banks and beyond the pool, in the river, there are further moorings available by application to Fowey Harbourmaster. Just downstream is the bustling port and deep water harbour of Fowey with its unique and eclectic mix of local shops, pubs, restaurants and cafés together with two sailing clubs. Fowey hosts an annual regatta which most years is visited by the Red Arrows aerial display team and a week full of festivities surround the regatta. The picturesque nature
