Historic Falmouth

Falmouth is steeped in history and has been a busy port for over three hundred years, dating back to the days of the tea clippers and beyond. Today Falmouth Docks is a busy ship repair facility and visitors are regularly treated to the site of large ships being manoeuvred in and out of the dry dock facilities. In addition to the Docks, there is always activity on the water with a wealth of sailing events throughout the season. Everything from cutting edge modern yachts to the traditional, Gaff Rigged, Falmouth Working Boats. With the third largest natural harbour in the world, Falmouth is one of the foremost watersports locations in the UK.

Falmouth University

Falmouth is now also a centre of academic and artistic excellence with the location of Falmouth University. As a result, there are now a number of superb galleries in the town featuring the work of talented local artists. Tregenna Bed and Breakfast is ideally suited to graduation day as we are directly opposite the Princess Pavilions and close to both the Wood Lane and Tremough Campuses.
