Hidden-away vegetarian cafe set in beautiful gardens further out of Falmouth, near Constantine. Have coffee in one of the two greenhouses, play ping-pong, lounge in the gardens, buy some plants. Worth the drive down some country lanes for breakfast / lunch / afternoon tea there.

Diverse exhibitions that change regularly, lots of craft. But this is also our local arts cinema and theatre so worth checking their website for listings.

Sightseeing

Incredible panoramic views out into the bay. Look across to St Mawes and Flushing and see 'Fraggle Rock' lighthouse. You really get a sense of why Falmouth was a significant naval site here. You also have impressive views into Falmouth docks – a fully working site. Worth a visit to the castle (English Heritage) but also just a walk or drive around the point on a sunny evening. Buy fish and chips and pull up / take a break in the car park midway and watch the sun set. Rarely as busy as you expect it to be and always awe-inspiring, even if you lived here nearly 20 years. Ice-cream vans conveniently placed to put your kids into a frenzy…

Parks & Nature

Great local town beach. Extremely easy to get to and good catering there (cafe, bakery, sports equipment hire, icecreams). Generally very safe for swimming (but cold!) and there are rock-pools and bouncy castles to keep the kids happy.
