3 days in Falmouth

Three days, nine stops and a gentle rhythm. Start with a castle-and-heritage morning at St Michael's Mount, then lunch at the Yacht Inn just 2.4 miles away, followed by the Marizion Museum. Day two heads 9.8 miles on to the Minack Theatre, with lunch at The Old Success Inn (open daily 08:30–21:00) and an afternoon at Greeb Farm, which states disabled access. Every lunch stop on the plan holds a 5/5 food hygiene rating.

Day three is the long hop of 56 miles to The Net Loft (National Trust). Once you're there, Polperro Bakery and the Heritage Museum of Smuggling & Fishing are each under a quarter of a mile on foot. For a base, The Studio in St Mawes sleeps 4 and is 1.9 miles from Falmouth Docks station. Turnpike Cottage in Portscatho sleeps 6 and is 0.7 miles from Porthcurnick beach, whose bathing water is rated Excellent by the Environment Agency. Arriving by train?
