Golant

Golant () is a village in south Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is on the west bank of the River Fowey and in the civil parish of St Sampson.

Golant is about north of Fowey and east of St Austell.

Golant church is dedicated to St Sampson of Dol. The poet John Betjeman remarked that its pews were "extremely uncomfortable, recall the fidgets of Gus and Flora in ''Ravenshoe''". The church was mentioned in the book ''England’s Thousand Best Churches'' by Simon Jenkins.

The village is on the Saints' Way long-distance footpath. Provided by Wikipedia
