Neighborhoods
Falmouth is one of Cornwall's gems, it has a wide variety of boutiques and eateries, and hosts beloved annual festivals
honouring its maritime traditions, including the Falmouth Oyster Festival and the Falmouth Sea Shanty Festival. The bohemian vibe that last all year is thanks in part to the strong influence the art college, (University), has on the place. Definitely a place to explore whether it be its beaches, gardens, shops or castle. There is something for everyone.

A lovely place for a day trip, (recommend getting the train as the views are stunning). St. Ives has four gorgeous beaches and bags of culture. It even has its own Tate Gallery. Go and see the Barbara Hepworth studios too.

Britain's most Southerly Point is well worth a visit. I think the circular walks that start from the village are excellent.
