Falmouth, England

  • Colorful coastal town with docked boats

Gateway to the picturesque county of Cornwall, Falmouth is home to one of the world’s most celebrated harbors. The deepest in Western Europe, it aided in the launch of D-Day fleets and has been the starting point for voyages around the world. A popular tourist resort among Britons for its seaside charm, it has been a scenic backdrop of countless films and television series. Distinctive gray granite architecture climbs its hillsides from the harbor, culminating at the hilltop college. Nearby, the picturesque landscapes of Cornwall unfold in rugged coastal splendor.
