For visitors to the estuary town of Fowey the charming little Bodinnick car ferry offers perhaps the most pleasant entry to the town. Approached by narrow lanes leading down from the B3359, the ferry departs from a slipway adjoining a house called ‘Ferryside’ where the author Daphne du Maurier once lived and worked. For walkers, the ferry marks the start of the Hall Walk footpath which loops around the west bank of the estuary to Polruan, from where there is a passenger ferry back to Fowey.
