Just behind Par beach is a small wetland. A few chalets from Par Sands Holiday Park look out across the lake which must make for a beautiful view at sunrise & sunset. In years gone past it was a model boating lake but now a tranquil nature reserve.

On the south coast of Cornwall lies Fowey, a small British town that is a popular day trip and holiday destination. It stretches a mile along the steep hills along the west bank of the River Fowey to its mouth in the English Channel. As a result of the numerous wars waged by King Edward I of England towards the end of the 13th century, the traditional Cinque Ports in south-east England were increasingly the target of enemy raids. That is why the ports in south-west England gained in importance, especially as they were also more favorable for trade with Gascony, which at that time belonged to England. Among the ports that thrived around this time was Fowey, which not only became a major trading port but also served as a base for numerous military expeditions. Today Fowey is an important seaport. The mouths of the River Fowey and the Pont Pill form a protected natural deep water harbor accessible in all weather and tidal conditions. The port is home to around 1500 boats and is a popular sailing destination. Annually in August, the week-long Fowey Royal Regatta takes place, one of the most famous sailing events in Great Britain. Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and Queen have already taken part in the regatta Elizabeth II.

In the narrow streets of Mevagissey you find myriad shops, workshops, galleries, cafes and pubs, as well as many old buildings made of cob and slate. There are plenty of traditional fish and chip shops to try here, too. The picturesque town was once the centre of Cornwall’s pilchard fishery and, even today, still has a small working harbour with a few dozen fishing boats.
