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.
