9. Fowey Hall walk
Distance: 4 miles
Difficulty: easy
Fowey is a charming medieval town that sits beside a beautiful, natural deep-water harbour. While it may be a 50-minute drive from Perran Sands Holiday Park, it’s well worth the journey to experience the unique history and walk its cobbled streets on a delightful circular walk.
