| National Maritime Museum Cornwall | Now fully open. Harbourside attraction in interestingly designed building. Even if you are not interested in boats the museum is well worth a visit just to ascend the viewing tower and to look out over the waterside, docks, etc. In season there is now a Park & Float" facility operating from the Penryn side of Falmouth. |
