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.

Today, Falmouth, with its approximately 20,000 inhabitants, is a fishing port, a port of call for sports yachts and cruise ships, and a holiday resort with a small-town idyll. The alleys of the harbor district still seem like a snapshot of that time.

This FitzRoy barometer, replacing the stolen original, was provided and installed by the Falmouth Civic Society in 2021 as a tribute to the navigator and scientist Vice Admiral Robert Fitzroy Captain of the survey ship ‘HMS Beagle’ which circumnavigated the world between 1831 and 1836, returning to London via Falmouth, on board his scientist and companion for the voyage Charles Darwin In 1854 Fitzroy became head of the Meteorological Department of the Board of Trade (later the Met Office), where he developed weather forecasts and reliable marine barometers This 19th century FitzRoy barometer is similar to those distributed by the RNLI to fishing and sailing ports across the UK, which, together with FitzRoy's instruction manual, saved many lives.

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

As Trefusis Road rounds the bend in the coastline there are fantastic views across to Falmouth and east to Carrick Roads and St Mawes beyond. New Quay House stands proudly on the riverbank. Now a holiday cottage, this grade II listed building was built in 1703 as the home for a Merchant Ship Captain.
