The vibrant port of Falmouth on the Fal estuary was originally known as Smithwick and is one of south west Cornwall's main resorts. Falmouth possesses four extensive golden beaches, Gyllyngvase, Swanpool, Castle and Maenporth.

The town offers a wide range of accomodation from guest houses to hotels. As well as the usual chain High Street stores there are a multitude of craft shops and souvenir shops for the tourist.

Warmed by the Gulf Stream, Falmouth boasts many sub-tropical gardens including the Fox Rosehill Gardens, once owned by the Fox family, and now a public park. The two acre park offers magnolias, acacias and rhododendrons in addition to exotic species such as the Chilean firebush.
