Route Highlight
Falmouth
From its Tudor castle to waterfront restaurants, from the maritime museum to its semi-tropical gardens, Falmouth is one of Cornwall’s classiest destinations. There’s also a fascinating working dockside and popular sandy beaches. The town’s pastel-painted terraces offer photogenic views across one of the world’s great natural harbours.

Other Route Highlights
ROSELAND
Mevagissey
What locals call ‘Meva’ has the cliché ingredients of a classic fishing village: narrow streets down to a busy harbour lined by lobster pots, art galleries and seafood eateries. Take a walk round the harbour walls while shielding a freshly baked pasty from greedy Cornish gulls.
HELFORD
THE LIZARD
Don’t miss the detour to Britain’s most southerly headland. Lizard Point is more geographically significant and wildly impressive than Land’s End, but lacks crowds and touristy development.
PENZANCE / MOUNTS BAY
It’s always a thrill to catch your first glimpse of St Michael’s Mount and the panorama of Mount’s Bay. Stop at Marazion to walk the tidal causeway or take a short boat trip to the island castle and gardens.
