The Crown Inn is in the centre of Lanlivery, postcode PL30 5BT, about a kilometre off the A390 west of Lostwithiel. It sits on the Saints' Way footpath, so it is a natural stop for walkers. CAMRA lists it as having parking and a garden.

The pub and CAMRA describe it as a 12th century building, and local tradition says it housed the builders of the village church. Historic England's Grade II listing dates the present building to probably the early 17th century, with later 17th and 18th century additions. Inside are a very wide granite fireplace and an unusually deep granite lined oven.

CAMRA describes a long, farmhouse style pub with a main bar and snug at one end, a lounge with an inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove, and a restaurant. An old well in the porch can be seen through a glass cover. It serves cask ale and lunchtime and evening meals.

Yes. CAMRA lists it as dog friendly, including some of its rooms, though dogs are not allowed in the restaurant. It also has nine en suite rooms in a converted outbuilding, adapted for wheelchair users.

The Saints' Way is a long distance path across Cornwall from Padstow on the north coast to Fowey on the south. It splits near Helman Tor, and its eastern route of about 29 miles passes through Lanlivery and Golant. The western route goes through Luxulyan, St Blazey and Tywardreath instead.

Helman Tor, in the parish, is Cornwall Wildlife Trust's largest reserve, with heath, bog and ancient woodland and an 8 mile wilderness trail. Its summit has a Neolithic enclosure and wide views, and dogs are welcome under effective control. The church of St Brevita in the village is worth a visit, and Lostwithiel is about a mile and a half away.
