St Cleer Holy Well

St Cleer's holy well dates back to the 15th century and some people claim that the water had healing powers.

Interestingly, the carvings and patterns within the stone are unusual in Cornwall from the medieval period.

Siblyback Dam

Highlight • Lake

The dam was built in 1968 to create this reservoir which provides drinking water and tops up the water levels of the River Fowey during the dry months. Once a small tributary of the River Fowey, the lake now holds 3 billion litres of water.

14.3 km

Golitha Falls

Highlight • Natural Monument

A short distance from the road is Golitha Falls, where the river Fowey drops through Drakes Wood.

Golitha Falls is a National Nature Reserve (NNR) and a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). In the spring it is blanketed with bluebells.
