Golant Cornwall Map

About Golant

Golant, a Cornish village, breathes a quiet life beside the winding River Fowey. It lies 3.3 km north of Fowey (from Fowey: bearing 351°T, OS grid SX 121 549), and is situated south-west of Lerryn village. The ancient heart of Golant beats around its parish church, St. Golant's, a sturdy stone sentinel that has watched over the ebb and flow of the river for centuries, its spire a keen finger pointing to the vast Cornish sky. Here, the air often carries the briny tang of the sea, even miles inland, a whisper of the waterway that has shaped the fortunes and the very character of this place. The green lanes that thread through Golant, often bordered by moss-laden stone walls, invite a slow exploration, each turn revealing a glimpse of the water or the rolling hills beyond. The light here, particularly in the late afternoon, can possess a painterly quality, bathing the humble stone cottages and the surrounding fields in a warm, honeyed glow.
