Lostwithiel is a civil parish and small town in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom at the head of the estuary of the River Fowey. The name Lostwithiel comes from the Cornish lostwydhyel which means tail of a wooded area.
The origin of the name Lostwithiel is a subject much debated. In the 16th century it was thought that the name came from the Roman name Uzella, translated as Les Uchel in Cornish. In the 17th century popular opinion was that the name came from a translation of Lost (a tail) and Withiel (a lion), the lion in question being the lord who lived in the castle.
Lostwithiel is an historic borough. The Lostwithiel constituency elected two members to the Unreformed House of Commons, but was disenfranchised by the Reform Act 1832. It remained a municipal borough until the 1960s, when it became a civil parish.
The seal of the borough of Lostwithiel was a shield charged with a castle rising from water between two thistles, in the water two fish, with the legend Sigillum burgi de Lostwithyel et Penknight in Cornubia. Its mayoral regalia includes a silver oar, signifying its former jurisdiction over the River Fowey.
Lostwithiel railway station is on the Cornish Main Line from Plymouth to Penzance. It is situated on the south side of the town, just across the medieval bridge. The line was originally built for the Cornwall Railway which built its main workshops here, but the surviving workshop buildings were transformed into apartments in 2004. A branch line takes china clay trains to Fowey.
Lostwithiel's most notable buildings are St Bartholomew's Church and Restormel Castle. There is a small museum devoted to the history of the town. Once a stannary town, and for a period the most important in Cornwall, it is now much reduced in importance. There is a fine early fourteenth-century bridge with five pointed arches, and nearby the remains of the Lostwithiel Stannary Palace, with its Coinage Hall – this was the centre of royal authority over tin-mining, and 'coinage' meant the knocking off of the corner of each block of tin for the benefit of the Duchy of Cornwall. The small Guildhall has an arcaded ground floor. The old Grammar School has been converted into dwellings.

Gull's Eye Guide to Fowey Marina sponsored by Haven Knox-Johnston
The boat insurance people who share your passion…
This Gull's Eye Guide shows the picturesque town of Fowey, situated on the south coast of Cornwall. This historic town attracts up to 7,000 yachts a year. The town enjoys a beautiful setting and unaltered coastal properties -- also has all the useful amenities that any sailing visitor may need, including general stores, friendly pubs and a chandler.
The natural harbour is deceptively deep and well enclosed meaning the marina has moorings for all sizes of boats. This also makes it accessible at all times of the year without fear of damaging your boat's hull. Due to its sheltered position, the harbour acts as a safe refuge in adverse weather conditions.
With the pretty town being a reason for some to travel to the marina, there are also activities available nearby including Daphne Du Maurier's Literary Centre, a museum dedicated to the author's work, and a place to read about her life. Another popular destination is The Eden Project, acclaimed for preserving our horticultural heritage.
There is an abundance of eateries including a selection of welcoming pubs and also Fowey Gallants and the Royal Fowey YC both serve food and are place's to enjoy for visiting sailors.
If you decide to visit Fowey Marina, keep an eye out for two particular landmarks -- The Polruan Blockhouse, two medieval buildings located on either side of the harbour mouth and 'The Red Rocket' a bright red lighthouse that resembles a firework and works brilliantly as a day mark for sailors.

Tourists are drawn to the area by nearby beaches and attractions such as the Eden Project, sited in a former clay pit, and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. The China Clay Country Park, in a former china-clay pit two miles north of the town, tells the story of the men, women and children who lived, worked and played in the shadow of the clay tips around St Austell.

A Cornwall Getaway
Cornwall is a county on England’s rugged southwestern tip. It forms a peninsula encompassing wild moorland and hundreds of sandy beaches, culminating at the promontory Land’s End. The south coast, dubbed the Cornish Riviera, is home to picturesque harbour villages such as Fowey and Falmouth.
We hired a car for the long weekend for a road trip to Cornwall. It was our first time going outside of London since moving here 6 months ago. We camped both days, and mostly sunbaked at the beach.
These are the places we visited:
Stonehenge, Wiltshire
Dartmoor National Park
Jurassic Coast, Dorset
Lulworth Cove, Dorset
Treen Farm Campsite, Cornwall

Places to see in ( Polperro - UK )
Polperro is a village and fishing harbour on the south-east Cornwall coast in the south west of England, within the civil parish of Lansallos. Polperro, through which runs the River Pol, is 7 miles (11 km) east of Fowey and 4 miles (6 km) west of the neighbouring town of Looe and 25 miles (40 km) west of the major city and naval port of Plymouth.
Polperro is a noted tourist destination, particularly in the summer months, for its idyllic appearance with tightly-packed ancient fishermen's houses which survive almost untouched, Polperro quaint harbour and attractive coastline.
Tourism became Polperro's main industry during the 20th century. The village of Polperro is accessible by air via Plymouth or Newquay, by train via Looe railway station, by road and by boat. It was estimated that Polperro received about 25,000 visitors a day during summer in the 1970s. Visitors are no longer permitted to drive cars into the village, having to leave them in the main car park at Crumplehorn to the north of the village and walk through the half-mile length of the village to its harbour. Polperro quaint but narrow streets make driving difficult. There are horse and cart rides and milk floats disguised as trams for those who prefer not to walk.
Attractions of Polperro include the South West Coast Path, the 630-mile (1,010 km)-long and established walk from Dorset to Somerset which passes through the village, and offers day walks along the local scenic coastline, in particular to nearby Talland Bay on the coast path heading East. Westwards, the path passes three large beaches en route to Fowey: Lansallos Beach, Lantivit Bay and Lantic Bay.[20] Within the village is the Polperro Heritage Museum of Fishing and Smuggling, situated on the harbourside in an old fish processing warehouse, which houses interesting photographs of the village's history among other popular displays. Guided walks are available in the village, and boat trips can be taken from the harbour to view the coastline which can offer sightings of dolphins and seals.
The village of Polperro boasts several acclaimed restaurants, including Nelson's and Couch's Great House, as well as seven pubs. A holiday and caravan park is situated outside the village to the northeast at Carey Park. Fishing was traditionally the principal occupation of Polperro families. For centuries the village has been a pilchard fishing and processing port. Fish are drawn for feeding off the South Cornwall coast in late summer bringing rich pickings for local fishermen.
Other than traditional festival days, The Polperro Festival has been held annually since 1996, being a community festival run by volunteers beginning on the 3rd Saturday in June which helps to promote business for the village. Polperro has many legends including that of the ghost of Willy Wilcox who was reputed to be a smuggler and disappeared whilst hiding in the beaches' labyrinthine caves.

Where to go on a date in Truro. Dating venues in this Cornish city.
Hello, and welcome to another in our series of dating venue videos, brought to you by Love Services, providing online dating since 2005.
Whilst you may have taken some considerable time browsing through personal profiles to reach this point, where you actually decide to meet, and spend the date is the next decision to make. This is the case for people all over the world, but in this video we'll try and present Truronians with some suggestions within their very own city.
The southern-most British and Cornish city of Truro may not exactly be sprawling metropolis (with a population of just over 19,000 inhabitants), but nevertheless, as it is the administrative headquarters for Cornwall, there are actually many places to consider for a date. This is a very popular tourist destination, too, and this means there there's a little more scope in a city with a relatively low population.
West of Bath, the city of Truro is said to have the best examples of Georgian architecture. The best parts of the city in which to see these historic buildings are around Lemon Street, and Walsingham Place, which conveniently enough, is where you'll find many of the best suggestions for places to meet. This is the area of the city that attracts most of the tourists, and where you will find some of the most exclusive and highly-rated bars and restaurants.
When it comes to restaurants, Truro doesn't disappoint. If you haven’t eaten out in the city for a while, you may forgotten just what there is on offer. The eateries that appear to be ticking all the right boxes now include; The Falmouth Arms, Tabb’s Restaurant, The Wig and Pen, The Victory Inn, The Kathmandu Palace, and The Cornish Vegan. The 108 Coffee House is said to be the very best location in the whole of the area in which to grab that perfect cup of steaming hot coffee. There are many more restaurants in the Truro area, but the ones mentioned are some of the most popular. If the two of you do come from the same city, it can be reassuring to meet at a well-known local landmark.
This allows you to rediscover the history and culture of your home town, and in Truro, the attractions that might prove suitable include; Truro Cathedral and The Royal Cornwall Museum. Having met, had a drink, and a bite to eat there are plenty of shops to stroll by as you walk off that lunch. There's a lot to take in, so there will be plenty of things that will spark off conversation.
Truro has its share of public green areas, which are a welcome break from the city streets. Three such suggestions for you here are; Boscawen Park, Daubuz Moors, and The Victoria Gardens.
This historic Georgian city punches well above its weight when it comes to the sheer number of possible venues for your next date. From intimate restaurants, to popular tourist attractions, you shouldn’t have a problem identifying the best place for you both. Thanks for watching. If you enjoyed this video please share it with others and give it a like.
If you've got any recommendations of your own, or feedback about venues I've mentioned, please post a comment below.

Places to see in ( Lanreath - UK )
Lanreath is a civil parish and a village in southeast Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The village is situated five miles west-northwest of Looe. The name Lanreath (pronounced Lanreth) means 'church (Lann) of Raydhogh' and it has been known variously as Lanreythow, Lanrathew, or Lanrethou. The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Lanredoch.
Lanreath parish is entirely rural in character; apart from scattered farmsteads, the only two settlements are the hamlet of Bocaddon and Lanreath village. The parish is bordered to the west by Boconnoc and St Veep parishes, to the south by Pelynt parish, to the east by Duloe parish, and to the north by St Pinnock parish.
At the time of the Domesday Book (1086) Lanreath was one of 28 manors held by Richard from Robert, Count of Mortain. There was one hide of land and land for 8 ploughs. There were 3 ploughs, 4 serfs, 4 villeins and 10 smallholders. There were 30 acres of pasture, 40 acres of woodland, 3 cattle and 60 sheep. The value of the manor was 25 shillings.
The church is dedicated to St Marnarck (although it was originally dedicated to St Sancredus). Part of the walls are probably Norman but the church is otherwise of the 15th century; according to Pevsner wholly Perp. and especially complete and satisfying. It was well restored in 1887 by G. F. Bodley. The font is Norman, of the Fowey type, ornate and of Catacleuze stone. The rood crosses both nave and aisle and is substantially original, though restored in 1905. There is more interesting woodwork dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. The monument to Charles Grylls and wife, of 1623, is ornate and unusual, being carved in wood.
Lanreath has a small museum, the Lanreath Farm and Folk Museum, which has preserved artefacts illustrating the everyday life of the people of the district in earlier times. From small beginnings in the 1960s the Facey family have enlarged the museum to the present varied range of exhibits.

Places to see in ( Porthleven - UK )
Porthleven is a town, civil parish and fishing port near Helston in Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is the most southerly port on the island of Great Britain, and was originally developed as a harbour of refuge, when this part of the Cornish coastline was recognised as a black spot for wrecks in days of sail. Nearby Loe Bar was particularly infamous, with swimmers and surfers being warned off the area to this day. Porthleven has many large areas of social and council housing. An electoral ward called Porthleven and Helston South also exists.
Discover Porthleven – an online museum – was created in 2015 as an ongoing community project. Its aim is to record all Porthleven's history. Large amounts of images and text are being received from around the world as well as from local residents. Once up to date it is hoped to start recording history in the making as tomorrow makes today history. The museum also has a large pictorial display at Out of the Blue Porthleven.
Historically and for local government purposes, Porthleven was included within the town boundaries of nearby Helston. After years of growth, it now has its own town council. Until 1844 Porthleven was within the parish of Sithney; the parish church of St Bartholomew was built in 1842. The name Porthleven is probably connected with St Elwen or Elwyn, whose chapel here existed before 1270.
Porthleven has exploited its location and exposure to powerful swells to become one of the best-known and highly regarded surfing spots in Britain. Waves, often exceeding 6.6 feet (2.0 m), break on the shallow reef that was shaped by blasting the harbour. Due to the prevailing westerly winds it was very easy for a ship under sail to get trapped in the bay and be cast up on the rocks at the small fishing coves of Mullion, Kynance and the Lizard.
Porthleven's most recognisable building is the Bickford-Smith Institute next to the pier and harbour entrance. With a tower about 70 feet (20 metres) high, it looks like a church but currently is used as a snooker club and houses the town council offices. It featured (along with various other scenes from the town) as the incident room in an episode of the TV detective series Wycliffe. A picture of the building against a large breaking wave sometimes appears in the background of BBC UK weather forecasts, particularly when windy conditions and rough seas are expected.
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution stationed a lifeboat at Porthleven in 1863. A boat house was built at Breageside from where the boat was taken to the water on a carriage. A new boat house on the west side of the harbour entrance was opened in 1894 with a slipway to make launching easier. The station was closed in 1929 as the neighbouring stations at The Lizard and Penlee had been equipped with motor lifeboats that could cover the whole of Mount's Bay. The slipway was dismantled and the boat house was used as a store for a while but has since become the Shipwreck Centre museum.
Porthleven beach lies to the east of the town adjacent to the harbour and near Porthleven village centre. RNLI lifeguards patrol it during the holiday season. The beach is separated from the harbour by a granite pier, which stands in front of the Porthleven institute and clock tower. When the tide is out it is possible to walk in an easterly direction along Porthleven beach for approximately three miles. There is also a coastal path with views of the beach below.
Surfing is very popular at Porthleven and nearby Praa Sands. Porthleven has been described as Cornwall's best reefbreak. Kayaking is also popular due to the slipway from within the harbour and access via surrounding beaches. Porthleven Bowling Club is based at Gala Park, Methleigh Parc in Helston. It is affiliated to Bowls Cornwall and Bowls England. The club was founded in 1959 and has lawn bowling and short-mat bowls facilities.
