The twin castles of Pendennis and St. Mawes stand proud at the entrance to the Carrick Roads, and are well worth a visit.
This part of Cornwall boasts an exceptionally pleasant climate, with many exotic plants usually found in the more tropical areas of the world, which gives Falmouth its unique feel.
