Falmouth is a port town in Cornwall, in southwest England. Along with Carrick Road, it is known as the third-largest natural harbor in the world and the deepest harbor in Western Europe. It is also popular as the start or finish of around-the-world sailing trips. Falmouth is surrounded by water — on one side there’s the scenic old harbor and docks, and the sandy beaches on the other. The nearest beach to visit is the Gyllyngvase Beach that is known for its fine sand, and sparkling water. Be sure to visit the great attractions of this picturesque town — Pendennis Castle which is a well-preserved fortress built in the 16th century. To know more about sea voyages, check out National Maritime Museum that has three floors of the interactive exhibition of model boats and nautical history. Also take time to visit the tropical gardens in Falmouth, the Helford River, and the postcard villages of St. Mawes and Roseland Peninsula.
