FOWEY (The), a river of Cornwall. It rises on Bodmin moor; and runs about 20 miles southward, past Lostwithiel and Fowey, to the English channel, about a mile below Fowey. It becomes navigable a little below Lostwithiel; and afterwards expands into a wide and deep haven.
(John Marius Wilson, Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870-72))
