Falmouth is an interesting old town that has retained the charm of the old fishing port, with narrow streets and alleys to the waterside. There are excellent shops, restaurants and several pubs as well as three beaches that are easily accessible. Boat and ferry services run regularly to St Mawes, Flushing and Truro as well as the Helford River. Falmouth harbour is the third deepest natural harbour in the world and is famous for its sailing water. The National Maritime Museum, newly opened, is a very popular tourist attraction.
Completely refurbished by new owners for their own comfort and enjoyment while in the UK, this luxury studio flat provides a magnificent view across the Fal Estuary with its network of creeks and rivers and colourful boating activities.
