Seen from the Hall Walk, above Bodinnick. Just above the ferry, in the woods, is the site of Fowey railway station. At some point in the nineteenth century an inclined plane, powered by a water wheel fed by a stream running down to Caffa Mill Pill, ran up by the edge of Station Wood to Penventinue. It was financed by Thomas Treffry, the 'king of Mid-Cornwall' and served his farms there by hauling lime from a kiln at its foot. Treffry is known for Par and Newquay harbours, the viaduct/aqueduct in the Luxulyan valley and mines at Fowey Consols, near St Blazey
