LOCATION Golant is a popular waterside village directly fronting the River Fowey and a short distance to the north of the deep natural harbour of Fowey and its picturesque town. Golant village comprises a collection of mainly older houses and cottages with a local inn well regarded for its beers and food set in attractive gardens overlooking the river. Moorings can be obtained via application to the Fowey Harbourmaster and Golant is a popular destination from which to start booking adventures with the picturesque waters of the River Fowey and the surrounding creeks providing excellent inshore sailing and boating opportunities, whilst the deep natural harbour waters of Fowey estuary itself have two active sailing clubs and provide access out to St Austell bay and the open sea in which many sailing races are organised. The two active sailing clubs provide an assortment of races throughout the year with the highlight of Fowey Regatta Week attracting boats from many different quarters. The deep natural harbour plays host to a wide variety of shipping including the likes of ‘The World’ private yacht which visited in recent years. The picturesque town of Fowey provides a wide variety of high street shops, post office, grocers, pubs, cafés and restaurants whilst the local villages of Tywardreath and Par also provide local shops for day to day amenities.
