Fusing contemporary arts, maritime heritage and spectacular beaches, Falmouth is home to some of the most popular visitor attractions and venues, and features a year-round calendar of events and festivals.
Offering four world-class beaches, keen swimmers and watersports fans visit the buzzing town of Falmouth throughout the year, whether it’s to take a gentle boat trip from the pier and quay, or to experience the thrill of gig rowing, diving or kayaking along its sheltered waters. Iconic sailing events such as the Falmouth Regatta and the Pendennis Cup also take place in this lively Cornish hotspot.
Falmouth’s maritime history can be experienced at the award-winning National Maritime Museum which displays fascinating collections of boats and tells stories of the bold explorers who travelled in them, as well as offering an underwater observation window to the harbour.
Visitors can also explore Pendennis Castle, one of the most famous fortresses built by Henry VIII, and take in the breathtaking sea views as they explore the surrounding grounds.
Falmouth is also a popular hub for the arts. Bursting with art galleries and popular exhibitions including Falmouth Art Gallery, one of the leading galleries in the south west, live music fans can also catch an energetic gig at venues such as Five Degrees West and the Princess Pavilions.
With more than 20 visitor attractions, a selection of beaches and gardens and a jam-packed cultural calendar, Falmouth provides a rich, diverse and spectacular backdrop to an unforgettable visit.
