Falmouth

Falmouth is a lively maritime town on Cornwall’s south coast, home to one of the world’s deepest natural harbours and a mix of student energy, sailing heritage and independent shops along its winding streets. It has excellent beaches on its doorstep, from Gyllyngvase to Swanpool, and the National Maritime Museum, with coast path access towards the Helford River.

My Falmouth video is a 60 second walk around the town on a beautiful summer’s day.
