Literary places in Fowey

Rebecca

Daphne du Maurier

The Cornish coast near Fowey, where du Maurier set Manderley, the great house on the cliffs above the sea. She modelled it on Menabilly, the real estate she later leased and lived in, with its cove and ruined boathouse below at Polridmouth. The map runs from the house down to the drowning cove and along to the harbour town, with a distant opening at Monte Carlo.
