Falmouth: Attractions and more...
The main attraction in Falmouth is the town itself.
Large numbers of tourists visit this town to enjoy the pleasant weather. The town is a well known seaside resort. The golden sands on the beaches attract many travellers to this place. Most of the structures in the town belong to the 18th and beginning of the 19th century.
The sandy beaches of the town are dotted with the magnificently built Pedennis Castle. It was built on the headland of the town by Henry VIII. The Discovery Centre in the castle helps visitors to explore the royal history of the Pedennis Castle.
The historical events are re-enacted frequently in the castle. In the summer, a special ‘Land Train’ of Falmouth takes the tourists from the city centre to the castle. One can view the enchanting beauty of the surroundings from the castle.
The town is dotted with several magnificent gardens in and around the town. Out of these, the Trebah gardens are the most popular. Subtropical plants, ferns, banana trees and bamboos can be seen here.
