Things to do around Falmouth.... The National Maritime Museum in Cornwall Trebah, Glendurgan and Trelissick Gardens St Mawes Castle or Flushing by ferry Boat trips to Truro or across the bay to the Helford River, and Frenchman's Creek For the more adventurous, have a go at scuba diving, try windsports, learn to sail, hire a motor boat, or even hire a Morgan sports car for a day!
Further Afield..... Head off northwards, and visit the amazing Eden Project, or the famous Lost Gardens of Heligan. And while you're in the St Austell area, take a look at the lovely little port of Charlestown nearby. Slightly further north is the Bodmin and Wenford Steam Railway, and Lanhydrock House (National Trust) Go south, and see the rugged beauty of the Lizard peninsula, and wonder at the World's largest satellite station at Goonhilly. On the way, you'll pass the huge naval airbase at R.N.A.S. Culdrose. There are lots of little fishing villages and coves to explore down here. We particularly like Church Cove and Dollar Cove, down a little lane opposite R.N.A.S. Culdrose towards Gunwalloe. There's also an excellent food pub down there called the Halzephron Inn, recommended for a nice lunch! Further down, near St Keverne, you can visit Roskilly's organic farm, where they make ice cream to die for! Go west, and experience the
majesty of
St Michael's Mount,
and call into the quaint fishing village of Mousehole.
Or take a legendary day out at
Land's End,
and perhaps experience an unforgetable
performance at the
cliffside Minack theatre
nearby. Or visit the
fascinating secret tunnels of
Porthcurno telegraph
museum , where Britain's communications with the World came
ashore. If you like wildlife with a difference, visit Europe's leading marine animal rescue centre at the National Seal Sanctuary at Gweek, and for an unforgetable experience, take a day trip to the magical Isles of Scilly. And there's much, much more..... And all within about an hour's drive!
