Lanteglos sits on the wooded estuary of the River Fowey in Cornwall, a landscape of steep river valley, sheltered creeks and rolling farmland. It lies close to the port town of Fowey and enjoys foot and ferry links to neighbouring villages, with parts of the South West Coast Path within easy reach, making it popular with walkers and sailors alike.
The area is characterised by small hamlets, a historic parish church with medieval fabric and local traditions, and an economy centred on agriculture, boating and seasonal tourism. Social life has a quiet, community feel for much of the year, with a noticeable summer influx of visitors drawn by the scenery, maritime culture and nearby literary and festival connections around Fowey.
