The 7 Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Fowey, England
Fowey (/ˈfɔɪ/ ( listen) FOY; Cornish: Fowydh, meaning 'Beech Trees') is a small town, civil parish and cargo port at the mouth of the River Fowey in south Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The town has been in existence since before 1300; the estuary of the River Fowey forms a natural harbour which enabled the town to become an important trading centre. Privateers also made use of the sheltered harbourage. The Lostwithiel and Fowey Railway brought China clay here for export.

This aquarium isn't big but that's reflected in the admission price. Its highlights for me are that all the sea creatures you can see are local to the Fowey area, all caught locally I believe, and we loved the Touch Pool where you can pick up crabs and starfish. We really enjoyed our visit here and would definitely recommend for an activity that doesn't take too long.

I love a bookstore. Had a great time looking around this one. Lots of Cornish authors, new and second hand books. I treated myself to a first edition book as it was at a very good price. Chatted to the lady who worked there for ages. She was very helpful. If you like books you will love it there.
