30 Complaint-Free Days
Day 16
Falmouth.
In about 6 visits to Cornwall I had never visited Falmouth. Didn't think it would be interesting.
How wrong could I be?
I really rather like Falmouth. It has a quirky feel to it that I appreciate. Plenty of independent shops plus a smattering of the big high street names.
It looked glorious as we approached by shuttle bus with the quite narrow streets festooned in brightly coloured bunting.
There are boats going off to places on the other side of the estuary and river tours (mentally booked for next time). It is steeped in history and has some glorious buildings (and some not so glorious, but we won't dwell on those).
The Maritime Museum is very interesting. I saw the yachts that Ben Ainslie won gold medals in and learnt so much about the Vikings that I didn't know.
I simply have to go back and explore some more.
Maybe even this week!
