Although we did anchor a couple of times when we ventured up the River Fal, the fact of the matter was there was just a far more handsome yacht than Cadoha waiting to be snapped.

 

The holding is good, it's a mud bottom. Beware though as the tide can seriously rip down the river during a spring tide, so I wouldn't want to be away from the boat in a strong wind over spring tide situation.

There's plenty of options for mooring your boat all up the river, with both mooring buoys and floating pontoon moorings to choose from, and an official mooring is roughly double the price of the cost for dropping the hook.

For a 38ft boat it cost us roughly £7 to drop the anchor in 2022.

There are plenty of amazing walks to take yourself off down here and if you take the dingy up to Malpas, there's a charming little local produce shop just off of the dock and you can see the day out at the Heron Inn pub.
