Falmouth
Cape Cod town
Falmouth is a port town in Cornwall, England, known for its deep natural harbor, one of the largest in the world.
The name has been adopted by several other coastal towns, most notably Falmouth, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod, and Falmouth, Jamaica.
These places share maritime heritage and often feature in discussions of sailing, shipping, and coastal tourism.
We caught the ferry from Falmouth to St. Mawes.
