Lostwithiel

Lostwithiel is an attractive historic town with a medieval bridge over the River Fowey. It was an important centre for the tin trade and is well known today for its many antique shops. Arrive in good time for your train if you need to go over the level crossing, once the barriers are down you cannot cross. Also be aware that Lostwithiel has a short platform and you must be ready to alight from the appropriate coaches of longer trains.
