Tips & Advice
- Park in one of the car parks and walk or catch the Fowey Town Bus, because the town is closed to traffic for the whole weekend.
- Choose Caffa Mill Car Park for a mostly flat walk, because the walk back up from town to the Main Car Park takes longer.
- Bring some cash with you, because the cashpoint by Barclays and the Post Office counter in the Mace minimarket can run dry.
- Wear comfortable, sturdy shoes, because Fowey's streets are narrow and steep, with many steps and few pavements.
- Allow extra time on Friday evening, because the Fowey Town Bus stops running while the parade goes through town.
