Falmouth, South Cornwall, a video guide
A short video guide to Falmouth, Cornwall.
Located at the entrance to the third largest harbour in the world, Falmouth's strategic location led to the town being established as one of the most important packet ship ports in the UK from 1689 up until the mid-1800s.
Today, the town retains its maritime importance offering sheltered waters for sailing and diving and regularly hosts sailing events such as the Henri Lloyd Falmouth Week and the Pendennis Cup.

Falmouth is a town, civil parish and port on the River Fal on the south coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Falmouth was where Henry VIII built Pendennis Castle to defend Carrick Roads in 1540. The main town of the district was then at Penryn. Sir John Killigrew created the town of Falmouth shortly after 1613.
While Falmouth's maritime activity has much declined from its heyday, the docks are still a major contributor to the town's economy. It is the largest port in Cornwall. Falmouth is still a cargo port and the bunkering of vessels and the transfer of cargoes also keep the port's facilities busy.
Falmouth is a popular holiday destination and it is now primarily a tourist resort. The five main beaches starting next to Pendennis Castle and moving along the coast towards the Helford river are Castle, Tunnel, Gyllyngvase, Swanpool and Maenporth beaches. The National Maritime Museum Cornwall opened in February 2003. The building was designed by the architect M. J. Long.
Falmouth is famous for its harbour. Together with Carrick Roads, it forms the third deepest natural harbour in the world, and the deepest in Western Europe. Falmouth is a terminus of the A39 road, connecting to Bath, Somerset some 180 miles (290 km) distant. Falmouth has three railway stations (described above) at the southern end of an 11 3⁄4 miles (19 km) branch line (the Maritime Line) to the county town of Truro.

1966: Falmouth, street scenes and a boat trip
Here we see Falmouth as it was over 50 years ago in 1966. The children are on their way to school, running down the steep steps of the town's alleys. There are steam ships in the port. On a boat trip out in the estuary, we see tugs pulling a ship out of port on its way overseas.
