Lanteglos By Fowey

Lanteglos-by-Fowey is situated in the Deanery and Hundred of West. It is bordered by St Veep and Lansallos to the north, Lansallos to the east, the ocean to the south and Fowey harbour (which separates it from Fowey and Golant (St Sampson) and the town of Fowey) to the west. The parish is on the south coast of Cornwall sandwiched between the parishes of Fowey and Lansallos. The village of Polruan, with its steep huddled streets, is situated opposite Fowey on the eastern side of the Fowey estuary. In the past, castles here and in Fowey helped protect the seaport by suspending an iron chain across the estuary. The only other village is Highway (or Trevick).
