Rook with a Book – A Scenic Stop Right by the Fowey Ferry If you’re bikepacking through South Cornwall and looking to cross the River Fowey, this spot combines function with a bit of culture. Just meters from the Polruan passenger ferry landing, you’ll find “Rook with a Book” — a striking metal sculpture created by Thrussells, celebrating local author Daphne du Maurier. While the sculpture might resemble an eagle at first glance, it’s actually a rook — a clever symbol of intelligence and storytelling, fitting for the town where du Maurier wrote some of her most famous works, including The Birds. The sculpture, named Isla, overlooks the estuary and makes a great place to pause before or after your ferry ride. 🧭 Bikepacker Tips: • The Polruan Ferry is just a few steps away and usually allows bikes, though space can be limited at busy times or during high tide. • Need a sturdier crossing? The Bodinnick vehicle ferry is just upriver and better for loaded rigs. • Fowey offers a solid resupply opportunity — with cafés, food shops, and great views. • The sculpture makes a great landmark and rest stop with benches nearby and panoramic views across the estuary. 📸 Look out for buzzards or kestrels overhead — while there are no eagles here, the wild birds and sweeping views add to the atmosphere of this uniquely Cornish crossing point. 📍Fowey waterfront – sculpture and ferry landing are just meters apart

This is a nice tranquil location. It is a relaxed place where people are walking about, sitting drinking and eating at cafes and outside of restaurants and bars. The are different statues and features, it os decorated quite well. The big bird is one example

Whole ride great. Except the Single track from Golant cross roads to the top of Penventinue. Unless it’s emtb you will struggle. Steep, muddy, overgrown and slippy. It’s a challenge! Counted 23 hills of 10 to 15% plus. It’s hilly, excellent short trainer. Not sure if it was fun🤔.

Ready money cove. Beautiful beach. Dogs are allowed most of the year. Check signage.

This is a secluded beach near the village of Haven. It's a bit less commercialised than some of the other nearby Cornish beaches so is a great spot if you're after a quieter seaside experience.

View of the Gribbin Daymark Tower

Built between 1813 and 1815, the Tregaminion Chapel of Ease was created to save Menabilly parishioners the long walk to church in Tywardreath. Take a look above the door and you will spot a carving of the Rashleigh Arms that was found when the foundations for the church were being dug.
