If sailing or messing about on the water is your thing, Falmouth boasts some of the most striking walking trails which, when linked with boat trips and fantastic water activities, provides all the ingredients for a great day out. Activities such as kayaking, fishing, coasteering, canoeing, and windsurfing can be enjoyed by the entire family, or if you feel like being more relaxed, you can catch the ferry from Falmouth down to the Helford River. Your boat trip will take you by St Mawes and Pendennis Castles, the Helford village, Frenchman’s Creek and the Ferryboat Inn where you can take pleasure in some Cornish delights on the Helford passage. Falmouth continues to rank among Cornwall’s most sought after holiday destinations.
Falmouth, the sailing capital of Cornwall, is renowned for being the third deepest natural port in the world, a haven for both cruisers and racers offering the sailor the last major port before the 12 hour crossing to the Isles of Scilly. Visitors to the Port will find the town teeming with coastal treasures, ranging from fish restaurants and boat trips to The National Maritime Museum, Cornwall next to Port Pendennis. Pendennis Castle built in the 16th Century sits high above the harbour with truly magical panoramic views across the bay. You can ride one of the Fal River Link Ferries to the beautiful St Mawes and visit Henry VIII’s sister castle or take a delightful trip around the estuary stopping off at either Trelissick Gardens or Smugglers Cottage for a cream tea.
Falmouth Regatta Week, in August is the town's major event both on and off the water, fireworks and the recent addition of the Red Arrows provides a spectacular back drop for some high class racing. Later in the year the Oyster Festival shows off the rivers heritage to the full. Pendennis Shipyard host luxury yachts for re-fit and and in June 2012 Falmouth will host the J Class Regatta, the most spectacular event since the Tall Ships Race last visited in 2008. There are plenty of places to eat & drink in Falmouth and recently Rick Stein brought his Fish & Chip Restaurant & Oyster Bar to Discovery Quay adding to the superb mix across the town.
A lovely clean & modern holiday cottage with a large enclosed garden. My husband loved being so close to Falmouth golf course too.

A lovely barn very well equipped and in a great location. We particularly liked the coastal path which was right behind the site.
