Falmouth Harbour is one of the largest natural harbours in the world, and is a playground for watersports. The colourful and vibrant university town of Falmouth lies on the western bank, where Pendennis Castle looks across to the exclusive resort of St Mawes on the eastern shore, home to the exclusive world-class hotels The Idle Rocks and Hotel Tresanton.

With their base under Pendennis Castle, Pendennis have grown to become one of the leading builders of superyachts in the world. The estuary stretches up to the small city of Truro with its magnificent cathedral, mainline rail link and private schools. Mylor Yacht Harbour has some of the finest yachting and boating facilities in Cornwall.

At the entrance to Restronguet Creek you will find the iconic thatched Pandora Inn opposite Restronguet Point. The pretty villages of Flushing, Mylor, Devoran, Malpas, St Just in Roseland and Feock are all to be found around the estuary.
