Falmouth

Falmouth is a vibrant seaside town offering plenty of activities whatever the weather. The bustling town centre is adorned with unique shops and boutiques, as well as the standard high street stores, and a great array of waterside restaurants and pubs.

Cornwall's largest port and the third deepest natural harbour in the world; Falmouth, with it's pretty creeks and family orientated beaches, is a fantastic location for water lovers and those wishing to explore the sea.

Getting about could not be easier. Leave your car behind and climb aboard one of the many pleasure boats and ferries which ply the local waters to St Mawes, Flushing, Smuggler's Cottage at Tolverne, Truro and the Helford Passage. Yachts with skippers can be chartered by the day.

Falmouth was once home to the Packet Ship service which sailed to the Mediterranean and the Americas from 1688 to 1852 carrying mail and goods. These world wide links across the seas led to the development of large private gardens, where exotic plants from as far afield as China and Australasia thrived in the regions subtropical climate. These award winning gardens are now open to the public and are packed with magnolias, rhododendrons, tree ferns and palms. Falmouth's four central gardens are Fox Rosehill and Queen Mary - both Green Flag Park Award winners, Kimberley Park and Gyllyngdune,
