No local-transport research exists yet for Tywardreath
Our researched notes are written from a sourced entry: every shared taxi, boat and village bus with its operator, its rule, its fare and the year we saw it, and what could not be confirmed. Nobody has done that work for Tywardreath. What is above is what we hold from open sources; nothing here pretends to be more.
- Get aroundDriving isn't recommended, especially for those who get scared driving through very narrow streets, and there is little parking available in the town itself, so parking either in the "Central Carpark" at the top of the hill (the main road into Fowey now takes you straight to it) or driving in the back way and parking at "Caffa Mill Carpark" (next to the Bodinnick Ferry) is generally advised and both of these are serviced by the town bus service.
- Go nextDuring the summer months there's a regular passenger ferry between Mevagissey and Fowey, which is a nice way to spend 30 minutes on a sunny day.
- Go nextBoth ends of the walk are linked to Fowey by ferry, and the walk gives wonderful views of Fowey, the river and its tributaries.
