5 Reasons Why We Are in Love with Falmouth

We have fallen head over heels in love with the idyllic coastal town of Falmouth, home to our stunning new development, The Fitzroy. Come rain or shine, this lesser known gem on the UK’s south west shores will provide you with the feeling of being on a perfect beach mini-break and may well just win your heart too.

Think blustery beach walks, cosy pub meals and perhaps a sighting of a famous film set or two! In order to share the love, we have compiled for you the picture-perfect day out in this Cornish harbour town.

Where to begin…

Taking you slightly inland to the subtropical paradise of Trebah Gardens, this tranquil setting will be the perfect place to begin your day in Falmouth. Lose yourself in four miles of footpaths winding through dazzling exotic plants and countless secret corners waiting to be discovered, finally ending up at the garden’s very own private beach.

Boasting three large exhibition rooms, you can be sure that the gallery will always have something new and exciting for all to enjoy. Take a stroll through the various exhibitions and marvel at the great works of 17^th century Dutch masters. One of the museum’s most famous accolades is its automata collection, first exhibited in its ‘A Cabaret of Mechanical Movement’ to capture and celebrate the town’s automata-making heritage. Don’t miss out on learning about Falmouth’s fascinating cultural history.

Feeling peckish?

After your morning of cultural immersion, we’re sure you will have worked up an appetite!

In Falmouth you can enjoy yours whilst watching the world go by on the sea-view balcony of the Victoria chateau style, Falmouth Hotel. All you’ll need to worry about is whether it’s jam or cream on top!

Ever heard of Poldark?

With the beloved story being set in our adored town of Falmouth, take yourself to the neighbouring coastal towns of Charlestown or Kynance Cove and visit some of the most famous landmarks from the show.

Time for a bit of romance… in a cave?!

Finally, Falmouth seals the deal with an array of cosy haunts and delectable dining experiences. If you are seeking something more on the romantic side, look no further than La Cave, a French wine bar and brasserie in the heart of the town.
