nice scenery

Everything a cyclist needs. Great food, great drinks and a selection of essential spares.

As well as great food and drinks, this fabulous cafe carries cycle parts and essential spares. Just brilliant.

With loaded bikes you have to forget about it because there is a long staircase in Falmouth to get down to the ferry! What a shame!

The favourable position of the natural harbour between Falmouth Bay and the long stretched out bay of Carrick Roads as an anchorage made the small town of Falmouth the most important port in the British Isles alongside London during the sailing ship era.

Great view from the dam across the reservoir towards Carn Menellis

Robin Knox-Johnston became the first person to sail non-stop solo around the world. In a time without all the technology we have now, this is a truly impressive feat. The brass footprints of Sir Robin Knox-Johnston here commemorate the place where he left in 1986 and arrived back 312 days after! The footprints were to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the date he arrived back into Falmouth.

This is a beautiful Cornish sub-tropical garden that is not that well known, located between Budock and Mawnan Smith. There are 15 acres for you to explore, with several ponds and many different species of rhododendrons and camellias. The garden is open on a seasonal basis, so make sure to check the website for opening times.

From Cliff Road there are lovely views towards Pennance Point and on to Rosemullion Head.

Swanpool beach is a sandy cove on the outskirts of Falmouth. Behind the beach is Swanpool Nature Reserve (SSSI), a mix of fresh and sea water that is home to over 100 species of bird. There is a cafe, crazy golf and watersports hire available at the beach.

Robin Knox-Johnston arrived here at the quay in 1969 after being the first to sail around the world non-stop and single-handed. His bronze footprints remind us of this. The Sunday Times Golden Globe Race is the forerunner of today's Vendee Globe. In 1968, nine sailors set off from British ports (Knox-Johnstone in Falmouth) to circumnavigate the world and collect £5,000 in prize money. Robin Knox-Johnston was the first participant to arrive back in Great Britain on April 22, 1969. He was given a triumphant reception. The story of Donald Crowhurst is tragic. He soon realized that he and his ship were not up to sailing around the world. So he sailed up and down the Brazilian coast, falsifying his logbooks. At that time there was no electronic navigation, so his location could not be tracked. Under the pretext of having to permanently close a leaking generator hatch to prevent further water ingress, he broke off radio contact in order to avoid increasing inquiries about his exact position. He rejoined the fleet of other sailors when they had rounded Cape Horn and sailed towards England. The main thing is that the "circumnavigation" is finished and the sponsors will be satisfied. Unfortunately, the situation changed quickly: Bernard Moitessier, who was in the lead and actually had a certain victory in his pocket, broke off the regatta and decided to sail around the world again. He simply turned south. After Knox-Johnston's victory (first to circumnavigate the world), Crowhurst and Tetley were still in the running for the prize for the fastest non-stop single-handed circumnavigation. Tetley sailed too riskily and was shipwrecked. Now Crowhurst was in a promising position for the fastest circumnavigation. However, since he now feared that his fake logbook would not withstand the scrutiny by experts that would have been necessary if he won, he panicked. Crowhurst never arrived in England and his boat was found empty. He had double-entry bookkeeping, and from the "honest" logbook you can see that he probably killed himself.

The Falmouth to St Mawes Ferry runs all year, connecting the two towns. This is a very scenic ferry ride, where you will be able to see both St Mawes and Pendennis castle. The ferry crossing takes approximately 20 minutes. During summer, the ferry runs up to 3 times an hour and in the winter it runs once an hour.

Pendennis point provides beautiful views of the coast and is only a very short distance from busy Falmouth. The name comes the Cornish Pen (Headland) and Dynas (Castle). Dolphins and Basking Sharks have been spotted here along with more frequent visits from seals. Pendennis Castle began life in the 16th Century as a gun fort and has guarded the entrance to Carrick Roads (Falmouth Estuary) since. It is looked after by English Heritage and open to visitors.
