Historically this is a fascinating small town. Formerly a most important port, indeed, the capital of Cornwall, it sits astride the river in the beautiful rolling country of the Fowey Valley, about five miles from the sea.
The extent of its past glory is evidenced in the town by the remains of the Bishop's Palace and just outside it, the Black Prince's Restormel Castle. Nowadays it is a quiet unspoilt town with pleasant parkland. With many buildings which mirror the town's past, it has a good range of shops selling day to day requirements, Inns, restaurants, etc., and as tourism begins to touch the area, a small but growing number of antique retailers.
It is an ideal location for exploring the splendid Fowey River Valley and to discover the charm of the villages on its banks such as Golant and Lerryn. It is also within easy reach of the sandy beaches of the Cornish Riviera.

Muffins is a small Tea Room and Delicatessen based in Lostwithiel Cornwall, about 5 miles east of the Eden Project and 4 miles north of Fowey.
Our first option for both our Deli and Tea Room is to buy Cornish produce –
if a product is not yet available from our Cornish suppliers, or we find something that tastes delicious from elsewhere, we will look further afield to offer it to you!
Muffins is open from Tuesday to Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm. Closed on Sundays and Mondays. -
At Trewithen Restaurant, our ethos is to provide an exceptionally fine dining experience. Our dishes are hand-made from start to finish with locally sourced produce and served in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.

The great 13th-century circular shell-keep of Restormel still encloses the principal rooms of the castle in remarkably good condition. It stands on an earlier Norman mound surrounded by a deep dry ditch, atop a high spur beside the River Fowey. Twice visited by the Black Prince, it finally saw action during the Civil War in 1644. It commands fantastic views and is a favourite picnic spot.
