THE LOCATION So much of what delights about Falmouth is on ones’ doorstep at Charthouse, where you are beside the harbour and the High Street and shops are a few moments walk away. Its convenience and spectacular position makes Packet Quays and Admirals Quay in particular, much in demand for those requiring a permanent or holiday residence. The Boathouse, or more upmarket Royal Cornwall Yacht Club and Greenbank Hotel are one's 'locals' and Falmouth's Marina is fifteen minutes' walk away. The town has a brilliant and diverse selection of restaurants and an eclectic mixture of shops, which include national chains together with quality galleries showcasing local talent. Falmouth's seafront, on the town's southern side, is about a mile away, with sandy beaches, Henry VIII's Pendennis Castle and access to incredible walks and scenery along the Southwest Coastal Path. Nearby train stations (Falmouth Town and Penmere Halt) provide a convenient link to the mainline at Truro for Exeter and London, Paddington. Falmouth Docks are a major contributor to the town's economy and along with Falmouth University (with campuses in Falmouth and Penryn) and Falmouth Marine School, specialising in traditional and modern boat building, marine engineering and environmental science, ensure an all year round and vibrant community. There are five primary schools and one secondary school in the town and highly regarded independent preparatory and senior schools in Truro. Falmouth boasts the third largest natural harbour in the world and is renowned for its maritime facilities, which offer some of the best boating and sailing opportunities in the country; little wonder the town is consistently ranked as one of the top five places to live in the UK.
