On the Water at Fowey


Picturesque scenes are filmed from the River Fowey in Cornwall for this family who is holidaying in historical harbour town of Fowey (pronounced Foy). The Fowey valley is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the river attracts many yachts for this reason. The annual Fowey Royal Regatta has been held since Victorian times and attended by tourists and royalty alike. The weeklong celebrations in August start with a flora dance.
