Introducing Southwest Cornwall
Cornwall’s southwest coastline, dotted with inlets, estuaries and wooded creeks, has long been one of the county’s main maritime areas. The deepwater port at Falmouth – the third-largest natural harbour in the world – is still a busy seafaring town, and the remote area further to the west around the Lizard was once notorious as a haven for smugglers and wreckers. These days, history and natural scenery are the main attractions, with long stretches of protected coastline, fine beaches and some of Cornwall’s most impressive subtropical gardens all within easy reach of Falmouth.
