Description
Falmouth Haven and watersports centre slipway is in a spectacular setting. In the heart of Falmouth with its restaurants, bars and shopping and only moments from world-class sailing waters there is something for everyone.
Falmouth’s waters are buzzing with people enjoying boats of all shapes and sizes as it is the first and last major UK port of call for ships making the North Atlantic crossing, Falmouth has long been of significant strategic importance. The town became the designated Royal Mail packet station in 1688, charged with carrying mail and messages around the growing British Empire, with Packet ships filling the harbour until the invention of steamships in 1850. In the late 19th century the harbour was filled with ships returning to Europe from around the world, and in the 20th century Falmouth was a jumping off point for historic D-Day.
