The River Fowey is a river in Cornwall, England. It rises at Fowey Well then broadens at Milltown before joining the English Channel at Fowey, a small town and cargo port. Fowey has thrived as a port for hundreds of years, initially as a trading and naval town, then as the centre for china clay exports. Today Fowey is busy with trawlers and yachts. Tourism is also an important source of income, providing employment for a significant proportion of Fowey’s inhabitants.
