Falmouth Harbour is the third largest in the world and is of considerable historic significance. Indeed, Falmouth itself was established by the Killigrew family who, through pirating and smuggling, made Falmouth one of the most important ports in the world. The pirates might have disappeared but the charm of this pretty Cornish harbour definitely hasn’t. Visitors can take boat trips and can even go shark fishing or, for the faint-hearted, there is an excellent Maritime Museum. And a trip to Falmouth Harbour wouldn’t be complete without a good fish and chip lunch of course!
