About Fowey

Fowey sits along the A3082 in the heart of Cornwall. As an historic port town on Cornwall's beautiful south coast, it attracts both visitors and through traffic heading to Par and Lostwithiel. Fowey Harbour and Readymoney Cove are the main draws. Fowey's narrow streets were designed for horses, not modern vehicles — breakdowns here often require careful manoeuvring with specialist equipment. We've been recovering vehicles from these roads for years.
