Lostwithiel

A Challenge

All you photographers out there. We need some photos for the site and I want to issue a challenge. What I need are three sets of three photographs that uniquely identify Lostwithiel. What I need is three pictures of the same shot taken at different times of the day. So I think a must is Lostwithiel’s bridge as I think it is immediately identified. So it would be great to have a photo taken at 7am, 1pm and say 5pm. If this is repeated with two other sites then we could have a website that changes throughout the day. A morning, afternoon and evening website.

Any photographer whose work is shown will get a 4gb memory stick as our token of thanks and also a link to their website if they have one. Thanks. Get snapping.

Lostwithiel is Cornwall’s hidden treasure, nestling in the Fowey River valley about 6 miles east of the Eden Project and 5 miles north of Fowey. We’re overlooked by the 12th century Restormel Castle and surrounded by beautiful countryside with the river meandering through the centre of the town.

Lostwithiel is an ideal base for taking a holiday in Cornwall.The town has a wide range of accommodation. There are two hotels, numerous Bed and Breakfast establishments, and several self catering holiday cottages including the best farm cottages in the south west, there’s also a great Golf and Country Club Hotel. During the day you will be ideally situated for exploring the Eden Project or Lanhydrock House, the North and South coasts are in easy reach, or why not venture further afield to places such as, St Ives, Falmouth or Penzance, which are only an 1 hour drive away.

Antique shops, regular fairs and auctions have made Lostwithiel the antiques capital of Cornwall. Now, with a choice of recently opened lifestyle shops, award winning restaurants, tea rooms, pubs and produce market, the town is attracting a growing number of new visitors. With good road and rail links as well as ample free parking, visiting couldn’t be easier.
