Situated beside the Carrick Roads, Falmouth is set in an area of outstanding beauty. Built on the waterfront, with its bustling streets and 'packet' harbour it holds many attractions for visitors, including museums, art galleries, art centre, antique and bookshops. Many outdoor activities can be enjoyed, including sailing, fishing, costal path walking, golf, horse riding, swimming and diving on the local beaches. All this is set against the maritime history of Falmouth. Pendennis Castle at the mouth of the River Fal stands as a sentinel to the third deepest natural harbour in the World. The new Maritime Museum is built within the harbour near Falmouth Docks.
