ABOUT FALMOUTH
The Southwest coastal town of Falmouth is a source of inspiration for artists, makers, musicians, sailors and boatbuilders. A place to find solace, sanctuary and escape among the inlets and creeks of the Fal estuary and the coves and cliffs of the dramatic Cornish coastline.
With a pretty, historical town centre that has an open, laid back vibe, it is a popular destination to discover artistic boutiques, independent breweries, curious vintage shops and delicious local food.
