The twin castles of Pendennis and St Mawes stand guard over Falmouth’s natural harbour - the third largest deep-water harbour in the world.
Water is a constant theme throughout any visit to this area with the River Fal linking the cathedral city of Truro, the beautiful Roseland Peninsula and Falmouth itself. The town hosts major international watersports events and is a renowned venue for sailing. Regatta week is held annually at the beginning of August
Falmouth's has an eclectic mix of shops and art galleries, cafés and restaurants which lie just off the waterfront.
Within walking distance you will find beaches offering safe, crystal clear waters, sandy stretches and secluded coves ideal for swimming and watersports. Further inland you will find ancient villages and cottages, lush gardens and hidden churches.
Sightseeing around Falmouth is a joy. You can take a trip on one of the many boats that ply the estuary, or hop-on and off the road train that in summer links the town, beaches and Pendennis Castle.
