With its beaches, harbour, great array of independent shops and eateries, Maritime Museum and castles, there’s lots to do in Falmouth.
Penryn is one of Cornwall’s oldest market towns and is steeped in history. There are lots of interesting independent shops and cafes to explore and plenty of fine Tudor, Jacobean and Georgian buildings to spot.
