Falmouth

England

Falmouth commands one of the world's deepest natural harbours on Cornwall's south coast, reached via the A39 from Truro or the A30 from upcountry. The town serves as Cornwall's main commercial port, with ferries to France and the Scilly Isles operating from its extensive waterfront. Maritime heritage runs deep here, from the National Maritime Museum to the working harbour where cargo ships share waters with pleasure craft in channels that can accommodate vessels drawing 18 metres.
