Originally named Nankersey, meaning valley of the reed swamp, the village was given its name by Dutch engineers from Flushing in the Netherlands who built the three main quays in the village.
The grand houses on St Peter's Hill, the road that leads into the village, were owned by captains of the packet ships (mail boats) that docked in nearby Falmouth.
The Spanish Armada intended to land here in their attack on England but they were not able to capture it.
Due to its position, Flushing is said to be one of the warmest villages in the United Kingdom.
The beaches at Kiln are extremely popular in the summer months, offering superb views of Falmouth Docks, the Carrick Roads and St. Anthony's Head.
There are two pubs, the Royal Standard on St Peter's Hill and the Seven Stars on Trefusis Road opposite Fish Cross.
There is also a fish restaurant, formerly the Sticky Prawn, now the Quay Cafe located on Ferry Quay.
Flushing Regatta Week is held annually during late July or early August, and features water-based activities such as bathtub racing, rowing, swimming and sailing races, sand-castle building contests, a mini-marathon through Mylor and Flushing, an open-air church service, a pub quiz, crab catching and a carnival on Saturday night, and has achieved marked popularity locally.
The booking service ran very smoothly and we were grateful to the staff concerned for a highly efficient and courteous service. We have friends and relatives in Flushing and visit at least once per year.We have stayed in numerous properties in the village. Aside from two properties that are not available for letting, New Quay Lodge is the best that we have stayed in.

We had a great stay at New Quay Lodge and found both it and your service excellent in all ways. Thanks again for a great holiday to all involved (and it was beautifully clean too).
