Falmouth
Falmouth is one of the foremost holiday destinations in the UK making the town the ideal base for your holiday in Cornwall, whatever your interests. Falmouth's natural harbour is the third largest in the world and provides a picturesque background to the resort, a focal point for many water sports activities and the perfect location for the National Maritime Museum, Cornwall.
Falmouth has a long maritime tradition dating back to the days of the tea clippers and there are regular marine events staged throughout the season ranging from gig and yacht racing to races between the local gaff rigged working boats. Numerous epic voyages have started and finished in Falmouth. There are a wide range of boat trips available taking you out into the lovely Falmouth bay or up the beautiful Fal Estuary to the county town of Truro. You can also take the passenger ferry over to St Mawes on the lovely Roseland Peninsula.
Falmouth has a wide range of harbour side shops, cafes and restaurants, many of which have unsurpassed views across the water to Flushing, Falmouth Bay and beyond. You will find a charming mix of shops from well known high street names to individual specialist outlets in Falmouth's bustling main street.
Falmouth also has several lovely and beautifully maintained gardens and Chelsea House is located within walking distance of both Queen Mary Gardens and the Princess Pavilion with its lovely bandstand and free entertainment on most summer evenings.
