Falmouth in Cornwall is a picturesque town that buzzes with the arts.

Driving directions

Ships dock at Falmouth Docks, an industrial port geared more towards industrial cargo than cruise passengers.

The port is located to the east of the town just off Tinners Walk. This is a short distance from Melvill Road (A39) which is the main road through the town. The A39 heads up through Penryn to Truro where it then joins the A30 at Carland Cross. The A39 makes an appearance once again heading northwards from Indian Queens heading up to Bude, Bideford and Barnstaple.

At Truro the A390 heads off through St Austell to Dobwalls where it interests with the A38, for links eastwards to Plymouth and then northwards to Exeter.

The A394 runs westwards from Penryn leading to Penzance, with Land's End a short drive beyond.

Car parking

Cruise and Passenger Services (CPS) handle the cruise parking facilities at Falmouth. It's a valet parking service so you will need to leave your car keys with them. In May 2016 the price was £9.50 per 24 hours. Parking needs to be pre-booked.

Getting there by coach

The National Express stop is located at Berkeley Vale, at the cross roads between Quay Street and Arwenack Street. The walk from here to the port is reasonable although a taxi may be the best means to get there.
