Complimented by the day to day shops such as a butchers, a deli, a pharmacy, a newsagent/general store and a Co-op, it’s a place to stop and shop. Shops selling crystals, cards and crafts, coffee and cake, upcycled and locally made items, it’s a real treat to visit Lostwithiel. Visit the little (free) Lostwithiel Museum or eat a pasty sitting by the river. Enjoy free parking throughout the town and a wander through the shops before alighting at a café or one of the pubs for lunch. Lostwithiel also has a long established traditional auction house, Jefferys, usually on a Wednesday, monthly or thereabouts, check online for dates and type of sale. The Duchy of Cornwall Nursery is about a mile away on the outskirts of town, offering lunches and lovely views over the surrounding countryside and Restormel Castle.
