Falmouth Attractions
Although blessed with a fine natural harbor, Falmouth (9mi/15km south) has largely surrendered its historic status as a seaport, catering instead to leisure craft and vacationers. The town enjoys the mildest winter climate in England.
Falmouth was the starting point for the Tall Ships' Race in 1998 with ninety ships that sailed for Lisbon.
