Testimonial

“We ordered a 6 day Fal Mussel Card for

the whole family online before we arrived in

Cornwall. It was the best way to see the area,

we went on boat trips every single day of our

holiday which the kids absolutely loved! It was

so nice to be able to explore without having

to drive and being able to enjoy the journey

between destinations as it is so beautiful!

Definitely recommended!”

In a nutshell

See & Do

There is an abundance of great things to see

and do on both sides of the crossing.

Falmouth

The third largest, natural deep water harbour

in the world, Falmouth is an active port with

a vibrant culture; home to the award winning

National Maritime Museum Cornwall as well

as the impressive Pendennis Castle.

Our Ferries

The Duchess of Cornwall was handcrafted by

local boat builders Cockwells in 2008, and is the

first ferry to be constructed in traditional wood

for over a generation. Capacity is never a problem

as each ferry can carry up to 100 passengers and

covered seating is provided in case we get some

of that ‘Cornish Liquid Sunshine’. The route

forms part of the South West Coast Path,

see the Roseland Ramble page 52.

Place Ferry

St Mawes - Place

The Place Ferry connects the village of St Mawes

with Place Creek on the Roseland Peninsula.

Operating seven days a week April to October each

year, the ferry forms part of the South West Coast

Path and is your key to unlocking the natural beauty

of the Roseland.

With its white sandy beaches, St Anthony’s

lighthouse, defensive fortifications, church

and spectacular walks, this inspiring peninsula

is one of the most delightful Areas of Outstanding

Natural Beauty in the South West. It’s also ideal

for dog walkers!

The ferry departs St Mawes and Place April to October

each year. Got a St Mawes Ferry ticket? You can

choose to upgrade your ticket to a Roseland

Ramble and enjoy Place as well as St Mawes.

In a nutshell

St Mawes

Falmouth CHQ

Great Walks

Departing from St Mawes, the crossing will take

you across the beautiful harbour waters to Place

Creek. From the ferry landing you are on the

coast path. Follow the Roseland Ramble walk

(see p52) and enjoy the magnificent views on

offer as you complete the circular route. The

landing spot at Place is dictated by the tide.

Consequently, at high water the ferry lands on

our pontoon. At low water, the ferry lands

at ‘The Causeway’. There are waterproof

information sheets on the ferry, just ask the

skipper. Whilst we welcome bikes and push

chairs, please understand that the ferry is built

for 12 passengers and there is not a great deal of

room for multiple bikes. If you are a bike group,

please give us a call first. Parents should also

be aware that parts of the footpath aren’t very

buggy friendly.

Be Prepared!

Remember to bring adequate footwear and warm

St Anthony’s Lighthouse

Also known as ‘Fraggle Rock’ from the television

show. Built in 1835, St Anthony’s Lighthouse is

situated at the eastern entrance to Falmouth

light fitted with a red sector that helps guide

vessels clear of the infamous Manacles Rocks

that lie some eight miles to the south.

King Harry Ferry Co

Floating Bridge | Feock - Philleigh

The King Harry Ferry is an iconic part of Cornwall’s history.

Established in 1888 it connects St Mawes and the Roseland

Peninsula with Feock, Truro and Falmouth by avoiding the

alternative 27 mile route through Truro & Tresillian.

One of only five chain floating bridges in England, it departs

every 20 minutes from each side, 7 days a week. The ferry is

a key transport link for visitors and locals alike.

The King Harry Ferry offers its passengers the chance to avoid

miles of congested roads and once aboard you can enjoy the slow

river crossing which takes in one of Cornwall’s deepest and most

beautiful rivers - the Fal River.

falriver.co.uk 29

FAL RIVER LINKS

/falriver

King Harry Ferry Co

Floating Bridge | Feock - Philleigh

B3289

How does it work?

The floating bridge navigates the 22m deep,

300m stretch of the River Fal by pulling itself

back and forth along the 2 chains which are

anchored on either side of the river. Each chain

weighs over 6 tonnes and has to be replaced

every 12-14 months because of the wear that is

sustained by operating up to 80 crossings a day,

364 days a year.

The chains enter the ferry over guide wheels

then travel through a chute to the wheel room.

From here the chains run under pressure guide

wheels and over the main drive wheels which

are big 2m diameter cogs that grip the chains,

these in turn are driven by hydraulic motors

powered by one of the 3 efficient Scania diesel

engines. The chains then pass under more

pressure guide wheels, back out of the chain

Think green

In 2022, the King Harry Ferry will be offsetting

its carbon emissions by planting small trees and

plants around the local area. Designed and built

in 2006, the current ferry was built with the aim

of minimising its impact on the environment.

This included using the most quiet and efficient

engines that were available and installing a state

of the art sewage treatment plant.

Each year the King Harry Ferry saves

The past

There has been a ferry operating here for

more than 500 years since it was established

by charter. The latest ferry is the 7th to operate

a vehicle service since 1888. The ferry bridge

crosses King Harry’s Reach which is part of

the Pilgrims’ Way to St Michael’s Mount and is

named after King Henry VI, the Lancastrian King.

The passage was called ‘Kybyllys’ which means

ferryboat in Cornish.

Heritage Adventures

The Fal is one of Britain’s finest estuaries, both in

terms of its natural and its historic environment.

A drowned river valley which began forming 2.5 million

years ago, it now consists of a deep tidal basin opening

into Falmouth Bay and fed by numerous rivers and

creeks, with a tidal limit extending 18 km inland and a

shoreline of 115 km.

As a result of people having lived around the estuary and

sailed on its waters since prehistoric times, there are

numerous archaeological sites and historic buildings

lining its shore. Iron Age cliff castles, medieval churches,

post-medieval forts, ports, mines and stately homes

provide endless opportunity for delving into the past.

So, jump on a ferry, set off on foot, or combine the two,

and start exploring the Fal’s fascinating heritage!

right to leave the Coast Path (or carry on for Carne

Beach and the Nare Hotel), which drops downhill

above Pannarin Point, and continue uphill to Carne.

Fork right to go between the buildings, carrying on

along the lane to the main settlement at Carne.

4 At the road, bear left, ignoring the turning on

your right. Take the path straight ahead at the

sharp left-hand bend. The path passes to the

left of Carne Beacon and comes out on another

road. Turn immediately right onto the footpath

on your right, which follows the right-hand hedge

before coming out onto Pendower Road beside

Churchtown Farm.

5 On the road turn right to walk through Veryan,

continuing straight on at the crossroads,

following Back Lane to the church.

6 Go through the churchyard to take the

footpath running from the left of the church. This

runs alongside the stream for a moment and then

climbs straight ahead through two fields separated

by a small copse to come out on a lane leading to

another road.

7 Turn left on the road and then immediately

right, continuing straight ahead at Trewartha

and on down the lane to Trewartha Hall. Stay on

the footpath as it turns to the left between the

buildings and goes into the left-hand field ahead.

Going through the hedge halfway down, it heads

for the far right-hand corner of this right-hand

field, descending steeply to the stream and coming

out by the houses at Sunny Corner.

8 Bear right past the houses and turn left on the

road. Take the footpath on the lane opposite,

dropping downhill to a track. Turn left on the

track and walk to the junction where the South

West Coast Path leaves on your right, heading

back towards Kiberick and Nare Head.

9 Turn right onto the Coast Path to Kiberick. In

the field below the car park pick up the footpath

on your right to retrace your steps uphill to return

to the start of the walk.

EMERGENCY AT SEA OR ON THE COAST

Every year, thousands of people get into real,

life-threatening difficulty on our coasts.

They may be washed out to sea, pulled under

by a strong rip current, or simply get into the

water when conditions are dangerous.

To ensure you and your family don’t put

yourselves in danger, we have compiled

some simple steps you can take to stay safe

on the beach.

=

TOP TIPS TO STAY SAFE

Always read and obey the safety signs,

usually found at the entrance to the beach.

These will help you avoid potential hazards

on the beach and identify the safest areas

for swimming.

When on a lifeguarded beach, find the red

and yellow flags and always swim or

bodyboard between them – this area is

patrolled by lifeguards.

Never swim alone.

If you get in trouble, stick your hand in the

air and shout for help.

If you see someone in difficulty, never

attempt a rescue. Tell a lifeguard or, if you

can’t see a lifeguard, call 999 or 112 and ask

for the Coastguard.

If you think you are caught in a ‘rip’ try to swim

parallel to the beach until out of the effects of

the rip and then make your way to shore.

The castle has defended Cornwall since

Tudor times and played a vital role

(Apr-Oct), or the chance to grab lunch in

the café, with traditional Cornish food as

fabulous as the views.

Set on the edge of a pretty fishing

village, St Mawes Castle is among

the best-preserved of Henry VIII's

seaside fortresses – and the most

elaborately decorated of them all.

The castle protected the port of Falmouth

against invasion for 450 years, alongside

its sister fortress, Pendennis. Wander

through landscaped grounds and gardens,

and discover intricate carvings on the

walls – designed to flatter the Tudor King.

One of the best ways to approach the

castle is by the St Mawes Ferry, and

be sure to explore the picture-perfect

harbour and village on your way.

Jacob Howard-Endean

Head Gardener, Lamorran

The Southwest Coast of Cornwall and the Fal River,

are blessed with a climate able to sustain a vast range

of plants and trees many of which would not survive

in other parts of the United Kingdom.

There is a long marine history of bringing to this particular

part of the Country, plants from all over the world.

Right up to the present day, an ever-growing population

of plants have found a home here and adapted to these

very special conditions.

There are exceptional gardens to visit encompassing large

collections of plants ranging from majestic magnolia

trees, rhododendrons and camellias to South Hemisphere

conifers and an increasing number of sub-tropical plants

with mature collections of palm trees and tree ferns.

A voyage of discovery into this world awaits our visitors.

I was born and bred in Cornwall and have grown up on

of great places to eat or even to just grab a drink.

My personal favourite place to enjoy a cream tea is

Melinsey Mill, which is just tucked away on the outskirts

of Veryan. It’s a very tranquil and peaceful place with

beautiful woody surroundings. The Scones are freshly

baked each day and are topped off with the finest jam

and restoring it.

All the rooms have magnificent sea

views and all have been individually

furnished with antiques and Cornish art.

There are three family suites which can

accommodate up to four children and

a lovely playroom.

Pinuccia, the hotel’s racing yacht,

is available for charter.

The Rosevine

For short breaks or family holidays

in Cornwall. Stay in this ‘Big House

by the Sea’ on the unspoilt Cornish

Roseland Peninsula coast, with the

beach just a 2-minute stroll from

the garden gate – what could be

more perfect?

The Rosevine is quite different - it's not

a hotel, but it's not strictly self-catering

either.

You have your own self-contained

space, but you can also use the rest of

the house too.

Downstairs the house has a bright and

relaxed restaurant where seriously good

food is served for adults and children,

and a family playroom with large screen

TV, toys and games, a drawing room

with wood burning stove and an indoor

heated swimming pool.

Relaxed and friendly, it's great for

families, couples or small groups

of friends. On hand are a team of

professional staff who combine

informality with great hosting.
