Perched on the edge of the world’s third largest deep water harbour, Falmouth is a beautiful and bustling town, steeped in maritime history. Colourful old captain’s houses perch above the water, while the sheltered harbour is filled with fishing boats and sailing yachts.

It’s no surprise that holidays in Falmouth revolve around the sea. Here you can wake up to the sight of boats sailing by and fall asleep to the sound of the waves. Seasoned sailors flock to Falmouth for the sheltered waters and stunning surrounding network of rivers and creeks, while there’s plenty of opportunity for beginners to learn the ropes at the local sailing schools, or explore the water on kayaks, boats and paddle boards. There are plenty of boat trips from Falmouth harbour, from Sealife Safaris and fishing trips to tranquil river cruises. One of our favourite things to do when on holiday in Falmouth is to hop on a ferry to St Mawes and spend the day exploring the pretty fishing village.

Back on dry land, there’s plenty to see and do. If you’re planning a family break in Falmouth, a visit to the National Maritime Museum is a must, as is a walk around Pendennis Castle, not only for the fascinating history but for the stunning, panoramic views. You’ll find the streets filled with interesting shops, cafés and galleries, plus there’s a busy calendar of events to choose from including Falmouth Week, an oyster festival and the quirky Falmouth Sea Shanty Festival.

Sit back and watch the waters lapping at the shore on one of Falmouth's four beautiful, spacious sandy beaches. Spend the day on Blue Flag Gyllyngvase beach, a popular sandy bay perfect for sandcastles, sunbathing, SUPing and sunset watching. If you love the idea of discovering your own secret cove, set off along the South West Coast Path and follow the banks of the nearby Helford River to find an idyllic picnic spot.

You won’t struggle to find great places to eat in Falmouth, from fine-dining fresh seafood restaurants to traditional fish and chip takeaways. Why not buy some fresh fish and take it back to your cottage and cook up a feast in the comfort of your own kitchen? Or better still, catch your own on a fishing trip!

Pendennis Castle
(Less than a mile)

(1)

One of Henry VIII’s finest coastal fortresses, Pendennis Castle has protected Cornwall against invasion since the Tudor period and operated throughout the period 1539–1956.  When you visit you can learn about how the castle has evolved, experience the sights and sounds of battle, and examine the role of the castle as part of Fortress Falmouth during the First World War.  The castle dominates a high rocky headland on the south side of the Fal Estuary, overlooking the English Channel.  It’s a great day out for families or those who are just interested in the area, with lots of events available throughout the summer months.  The castle is open from March to September and prices start at £7.90 for non English Heritage members.
