Alice Scarlett Design
Alice Scarlett is a local artist from Fowey currently studying at Falmouth University. She specialses in precise highly detailed watercolours, taking primary inspiration from the Victorian era.
Every piece and study has a very Cornish aspect to it, something to help promote the Cornish language, heritage and wildlife; not just to local people but something that also has great appeal to our many visitors to the county.
​All original watercolours are produced following weeks of photographic study of Cornish bird life.

A vibrantly-restored, 37-room Victorian boutique hotel, with picture-perfect views over Fowey’s estuary, just steps from the beach.

The Lost Gardens of Heligan
Heligan is one of the most mysterious estates in England.

Today Heligan’s 200 acres are a paradise for the explorer, wildlife, plant lover and garden romantic.It was only the chance discovery of a door in the ruins that led to the restoration of this once great estate. Today, The Lost Gardens have been put back where they belong: in pride of place among the finest gardens in England.

Lanhydrock is the perfect country house and estate, with the feel of a wealthy but unpretentious family home.
