Bodinnick

Also on the east bank, just a mile up river from Polruan, is the delightful small waterside village of Bodinnick. Connected to Fowey by a regular car ferry, the crossing takes about three minutes, Bodinnick has no more than a few dozen houses mostly built on either side of the old village hill that rises up from the ferry slip way. With its famous Old Ferry Inn comprising a small hotel and atmospheric pub, the village has a number of very old cottages some dating back to Elizabethan times including a dwelling that was used as an overnight jail for prisoners on their way for trial at the Launceston Assizes.
