The West Country / Cornwall region

As holiday accommodation in Cornwall, water's edge is ideally situated for exploring all of the best local attractions including The Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the Maritime Museum, the Coastal path and many local beaches and coves.

From walking to surfing, from pubs to fine dining, from farmers markets to pick-your-own, from beaches to spas, from gardens to golf, from sailing to ferries, there is so much to do that one week won’t be enough!

The Falmouth area

Falmouth lies at the entrance to Carrick Roads, one of the great waterways and the third largest, deep water natural harbours in the world. Sir Walter Raleigh first saw the potential for a port here and Henry VIII realised its strategic importance building Pendennis castle on the headland to protect it, mirrored on the opposite headland by St.Mawes castle. The port was further developed by the Killigrew family and it became the base for the Falmouth packets, which carried the mail to the colonies. The Port and harbour are renowed in the sailing world, with many famous sailing racing events starting and finishing here, notably Ellen Macarther.

Falmouth hosts the Henri-lloyd sailing week, has been home to the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club since 1872 and now also hosts an annual oyster festival. There are ever-growing numbers of pleasure boats enjoying the Fal estuary, which offers 12 miles of navigable water, reaching inland as far as the cathedral city of Truro. This increasing leisure boating market has resulted in tourism becoming Falmouth's main source of income. From Pendennis castle to bowling, learning to sail to a wildlife boat safari, visiting the art galleries to sunbathing on one of the three sheltered, south-facing beaches, visiting the seal sanctuary to taking the ferry to a good pub, there is plenty to do....

“The best holiday property we've experienced to date.” Falmouth is a pleasant town all round but Gyllingvase Beach is almost certainly the nicest part in which to stay. We've self-catered in England, Wales, France, Denmark and the USA in some very... more
