The Location
Falmouth is undoubtedly one of Britain’s most thriving and lively towns, offering a unique lifestyle with a bustling town centre and beautiful beaches. Recently voted as the best place to live in the UK by readers of The Sunday Times, Falmouth offers many attractions such as Pendennis Castle, the National Maritime Museum, excellent sailing waters and a plethora of shops, bars, pubs and restaurants which buzz throughout the year. The combination of maritime heritage and modern creativity makes the town hugely popular. It is a constant carnival during the summer months, yet still energetic in the winter, offering great food festivals and sea shanties to keep all entertained. Many beautiful areas surround Falmouth, including Flushing, Mylor and the Helford River.
