Cornwall » Falmouth accommodation
Falmouth came to prominence in the sixteenth century
when Pendennis Castle was built. Later the following century,
it became the base for the Falmouth Packets which carried
mail to America. Much earlier than this, the main town of the area was neighbouring
Penryn.
There is a regular ferry crossing from Falmouth to St Mawes, on the opposite side of the bay, and St Mawes Castle is the twin to Pendennis. During the summer months, there are various other boating trips available and plenty of estuaries and creeks to explore.
Jacob’s Ladder is a flight of 111 steps leading from the Moor, Falmouth’s old town square. From the top there is a great view of the town and harbour. There are plenty of eating places in Falmouth, but it does not have the over-developed feeling of many other holiday resorts.
The beaches to the south of the town are great for families. Swanpool Beach is probably the best for swimming. A little further in the same direction is the estuary of the River Helford.
