Visit Falmouth on your Holiday in Cornwall
Book your static caravan or eurotent holiday in Cornwall at Perran Springs Holiday Park and
visit Falmouth, one of the world’s deepest natural harbours, and in 1688 was home to the
famous packet ships, which transferred mail around the British Empire. Today the port has a
large series of docks and is extremely popular for sailing and pleasure boating.
Pendennis Castle overlooks the stretch of water Carrick Roads and was built between
1539-64 by King Henry VIII, to protect the entrance to the Fal estuary. The castle has views
along the coastline to the Lizard Peninsula and out over the sea. The town is also home to
the new National Maritime Museum Cornwall.
