Editing River Fowey (section)

== Recreation ==
The upper part of the Fowey valley is within the Bodmin Moor area of the [[Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty]] so many hikers, holidaymakers and tourists visit the places of interest. The river has very pleasant sites and special paths made for hiking and walking along the banks and in the countryside surrounding the towns; most of [[Bodmin Moor]] is designated as 'open access' under the [[Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000]].

The River Fowey is famous for its sailing because of its natural harbour. In the past it has been visited by up to 7,000 yachts in one season. Almost all sections of the river have been paddled by [[kayakers]] and [[canoeists]]: from the [[whitewater]] sections high up on the moor, all the way down to the estuary. Fowey has an excellent local chandlery.

Many fish can be caught in the River Fowey so many fishermen come to enjoy the excellent fishing conditions.
