Falmouth

We caught the 9.20 train from Plymouth and after a change of trains at Truro we arrive in Falmouth Docks 2 hours later.  We started walking along the South West Coast Path around Pendennis Point. and then down to   the beaches in Falmouth.  It was a grey day so the views were not as good as they would be when the sun was shining.  The paths were good, and as we walked through woodland there were some daffodils which gave bridge yellow splashes.  It was a easy walk, with only gentle slopes.  We walked past Castle Beach, onto the Gyllygvase  Beach and then to Swanpool Beach.  There is one further beach in Falmouth, Maenporth Beach, but we decided to leave visiting that one until another day.

Gyllygvase Beach

At Swanpool we walked along one side of the lake watching the many different types of waterfowl there.  We also saw a water vole at the edge of the water.  We then walked into the centre of Falmouth.  On the way we stopped at the Falmouth Pavilion where we walked around the gardens.  There was a lovely display of daffodills but not many other flowers.
