Local points of interest from Lyn:
Head down to Gyllyngvase beach – have coffee or breakfast on the outdoor deck of the beach café - they have their own bakery, and blankets and heaters in winter. Watch the surf club training and spot marine craft on the world’s third deepest natural harbour.
Walk the coastpath from the cottage – head to Swanpool Beach or the beautiful Maenporth Beach, both also have excellent cafes- or take a ferry across Falmouth Bay to idyllic St Mawes, and maybe on again to the wooded slopes of St Anthony Head beyond.
Enjoy the sub-tropical waters and marine wildlife from a stand up paddleboard – stroll down to the beach, hire a board or canoe, and explore the secret beaches, coves and reef of the Helford Passage.
Spend some time on Falmouth’s vibrant high street – from the cottage it's about 8 minutes by car, offering independent shops and galleries, artisan bakeries, quirky and historic bars and atmospheric restaurants – many with waterfront views.
Falmouth Golf Club is less than a mile away with a lovely bar serving great food with views over Falmouth bay.
Explore the Lizard Peninsula. It's just a few minutes’ drive to the beautiful gardens at Trebah and Glendurgan, both meandering down to beaches on the Helford Passage – or on to explore historic Penzance, and swim in the newly opened Art Deco seawater Lido, now heated by geothermal sources.
The Seal Sanctuary is only 9 miles from Kingfisher Cottage and I can guarantee children and adults alike will love it.
The Flicka donkey sanctuary (free entry) is less than 5 miles away and, again, a lovely day out for children and adults alike!
We recommend a visit to the superb new National Maritime Museum and historic Pendennis Castle.
Falmouth is acknowledged to be one of the most attractive resorts in the whole of the country boasting three safe sandy beaches and the second largest natural harbour in the world.
You can enjoy fabulous watersports of every kind, sailing, fishing, diving, windsurfing and surfing. Play golf, sunbathe on the beach or take one of the many scenic boat trips around the area.
Falmouth town centre offers a host of facilities and entertainment, good shopping, art galleries, cinema and entertainment of all types.
Seafood is a speciality of many fine restaurants and pubs in the area, including The Cove, Boat House, CJs at The Sanctuary, Harbour View and Castaways. Whilst meat eaters, vegetarians, vegans and other specialist diets are all well catered for in Falmouth.
No trip to Falmouth is complete without a walk to Maenporth beach, an easy route along a country lane taking approximately 20 minutes. Kingfisher Cottage is ideally situated for exploring a little further afield, we recommend a visit to the breathtaking clifftop Minack theatre, the innovative Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the Tate gallery at St. Ives and the many beautiful National Trust properties and gardens nearby, including Glendurgan, Godolphin House, Trerice and the Trelissick Estate.
