Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used) POLKERRIS This remote and characteristic fishing village is situated near Fowey, and, secluded though it be, can rival many a larger and more important resort on the all-important score of health. The climate of this district in the winter months is generally of almost incredible mildness, the spring flowers raising their heads earlier even than in many continental winter resorts. Fowey, from which this spot is most conveniently accessible, is an excellent centre for excursions of all kinds as well as for a quiet holiday. Menabilly, two miles westward of Fowey, is a country seat, beautifully situated On Greber Head. It is noted for its grotto and wonderful colection of mineral specimens, which is valued at no less than £50,000. The grotto is near the sea-shore, and is constructed in the form of an octagon, the finest marbles and serpentine, interspersed with crystals, shells and pebbles, having been used in the construction. Polkerris lies north of the park at Menabilly. During the season the places in the neighbourhood of Fowey, including Looe, Polperro and Mevagissey, are admirably served by steamboat, and Truro can also be visited by water, returning by rail. Among other interesting excursions we may mention those to the Carclaze Tin Mine, the Valley of Carmears, and the Valley and Waterfall of Luxulyan. On the shore opposite Fowey is the little place of Polruan. At Castel Dour, locally corrupted into Castle Door, are the remains of a Celtic hill-castle. There are many other places of antiquarian interest within a small radius of Fowey.
