Falmouth is one of the major ports of call along the south west coast, along with Plymouth and it shows. You have a thriving university town in Falmouth itself and a collection of smaller villages not too far out.

To moor in close to the town quay itself came at a cost of around £10 a night for our 38ft boat. You could then leave your tender tied up at Falmouth Yacht haven as you come and go.

We paid for a few nights here as it gave us great protection from some stronger south westerly winds  and it was also very handy to stock up on supplies. The holding is great but be mindful to pay attention to the notice board for large vessels coming in and out as the anchorage regularly needs to be cleared to give these ships room to manoeuvre .
