Here in Fowey, visitors arrive for relaxing weekend breaks and extended stays throughout all four seasons. The beaches here are great, but there\u2019s much more to Fowey than sun, sea and sand.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re new to Fowey, embark on a lazy stroll down the main Fore Street and you\u2019ll quickly see what all the fuss is about.

The vast majority of which remain comparatively calm and quiet throughout the warmer months of the year. The summer season begins as early as April, when daytime temperatures improve significantly and the nights aren\u2019t nearly as long.<\/p>\n<p>This is the perfect time of year to take in the beauty of Fowey from the water, embarking on your choice of the countless pleasure <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\">boats<\/a> regularly departing from the town key steps. Relax on the beach, explore the nearby ancient woodlands or perhaps take the passenger ferry across the harbour to Polruan for the afternoon.<\/p>\n<h2>A Winter Wonderland<\/h2>\n<p>Ask those in the know and they\u2019ll tell you the same: Fowey is perhaps at its most beautiful during autumn. The landscape in and around Fowey becomes the most extraordinary tapestry of rich and vibrant autumnal colours, while the shorter days provide the perfect opportunity to enjoy an unforgettable sunrise.<\/p>\n<p>The cosy cafes and local pubs of Fowey also come into their own during the cooler months of the year. Beer gardens and parasols being replaced by roaring open fires, comforting home cooking and dramatic scenery on all sides.\u00a0 Unsurprisingly, head to Fowey over the festive season and you\u2019re in for an even more enchanting treat!<\/p>\n<h2>The Best of the British Climate<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s also worth remembering that <span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cornwall\">Cornwall<\/a><\/span> as a whole is blessed with a far more agreeable climate than the rest of the UK.

And when things take a turn for the worse, there are enough museums, galleries and eateries to keep even the most demanding visitors busy!<\/p>\n<p>Throughout all four seasons, Fowey is perhaps best enjoyed from the comfort of a private holiday cottage.
