Penpol Creek is a tidal creek which is a tributary of the River Fowey in Cornwall, England, UK. It lies between the parishes of St Veep and Lanteglos-by-Fowey. The tidal limit is at the bridge at lower Penpol.[1] Penpol Mill is mentioned in 1591 and it was rebuilt in 1794, today it is abandoned. The bridge was built in 1867, replacing a tidal ford.[2] Above the bridge the river becomes Trebant Water.
