Falmouth
Falmouth is a town, civil parish and port on the south coast of Cornwall. It is situated on the River Fal, which reaches the English Channel. Its population, at present amounting to 26767, is one that has grown significantly over the last century and a half after the Cornwall Railway reached Falmouth in August 1863. The success offered to the town by the ease of mobility of people and supplies to and from the town meant that it became an enticing destination in which to settle. The town at present has three railway stations, all of which have a frequent train service. The student population is progressively on the rise since the establishment of the University of Exeter's Cornwall Campus, which particularly specialises in courses on the environment and sustainability. Although Falmouth's maritime activity has diminished greatly from its peak in the late 19th century, the docks continue being a considerable contributor to the town's economy. Not only is it the largest port in Cornwall, Falmouth continues to be a freight port, which means that the bunkering of vessels and the transfer of freights preserve consistent activity in the port's facilities. The port is also popular with cruise ships. The conversion of Falmouth's attractive Georgian town houses into guest houses and small hotels, with lots of offering a sea view, has meant that Falmouth has come to be a popular holiday destination, and is principally a tourist resort. Next to the town centre is Kimberley Park, land which goes back earlier than 1877, which features a stunning variety of exotic and elaborate plants and trees. The town centre provides a selection of independent and commercial chain eateries, bars, cafés and shops.
