A weekend in Falmouth

This is a weekend of two halves. Day one stays close together: Pendennis Castle in the morning, lunch just 0.9 miles away at Oggies Cornish Kitchen, a bakery with a 5/5 food hygiene rating, then 0.8 miles on to Pendennis Castle Museum. Day two ranges further afield, with a 23.2-mile run to the National Trust's Trengwainton Gardens. Lunch is at The Tremenheere, also rated 5/5 for hygiene, and the day ends gently at Penlee House Gallery, which states disabled access and sits under a quarter of a mile from the pub.

Arriving by train, Falmouth Town is the nearest station. For a base, The Studio in St Mawes sleeps four and is 1.9 miles from Falmouth Docks station. Turnpike Cottage in Portscatho sleeps six and sits 0.7 miles from Porthcurnick beach, whose bathing water the Environment Agency rates Excellent. Couples might prefer Turn a Penny, which sleeps two and is 2.6 miles from Truro station.
