Best walk to Falmouth
Cornwall · South West England | Walks by train
MapSet out on a beautiful station-to-station walk that ends at the centre of Falmouth.
Penryn Station to Falmouth Town Station
great views; beautiful scenery. A short, scenic estuary walk mostly along the Penryn river edge, with a short ferry crossing and views to Falmouth. The narrow path is uneven and muddy in places, with stiles, gates and steps and tree roots underfoot; one section crosses a reed-bed walkway and a beach. The walk uses the Flushing Ferry, which runs daily (hourly in winter, every 30 minutes in summer, last sailing late afternoon); an alternative road route is needed outside ferry hours.
4km.
The beach and reed-bed walkway section may not be passable at high tide, though alternative sections are available.
Lunch: Two pubs and a general store in the village of Flushing; a range of eateries at either end.
