Itinerary

1. Killigrew Monument

Your journey begins with the Killigrew family — powerful, ambitious, and with a reputation that blurred the line between respectable privateering and criminal piracy. They spent the 1500s earning a terrible reputation... but the 1600s building a new town.

Duration: 15 mins

2. Custom House Quay

Falmouth starts to take shape as a scrappy little sailors haunt. But with the arrival of the Packet Service, Falmouth is suddenly plugged into a global network. News, money, and people begin flowing through the harbour.

Duration: 15 mins

3. Gyllyng Street

At its height, Falmouth is thriving. Ships crowd the harbour, sailors fill the streets, and the town hums with international energy. Standing here, overlooking the water, you’ll get a sense of just how important this place once was.

Duration: 20 mins

4. Smithick Hill

But success doesn’t last. The same forces that built Falmouth begin to shift, and the town faces a sudden and dramatic decline. The confidence of the town begins to unravel.

Duration: 20 mins

5. Market Street

Even as Falmouth declines, great events still play out here. Think, cannibals, criminal trials, drama.

Duration: 10 mins

6. Prince of Wales Pier

Falmouth finds a new purpose. And so we end our tour reflecting on a story of dynamism, possibilities and a hope for whatever the next day will bring.

Duration: 10 mins
