Falmouth is renowned for its beautiful period buildings and has a brilliant and diverse selection of restaurants and an eclectic mixture of shops, which include national chains. Many high-quality galleries showcase local talent. It is famed for its many festivals and regattas. Falmouth's beaches are just a few minutes’ walk away. Bay Court is on the Southwest Coastal Path and less than a mile from Henry viii's Pendennis Castle. The Princess Pavilion with cafe, gardens and theatre can be accessed through a gate in the car park (see first picture). Falmouth Town Station, only 10 minutes’ walk away, provides a convenient link to the mainline at Truro for Exeter and London Paddington.
