Itinerary
- 1
Your journey begins with the Killigrew family — powerful, ambitious, and with a reputation that blurred the line between respectable privateering and criminal piracy. They spent the 1500s earning a terrible reputation... but the 1600s building a new town.
Admission included - 2
Falmouth starts to take shape as a scrappy little sailors haunt. But with the arrival of the Packet Service, Falmouth is suddenly plugged into a global network. News, money, and people begin flowing through the harbour.
Admission included - 3
At its height, Falmouth is thriving. Ships crowd the harbour, sailors fill the streets, and the town hums with international energy. Standing here, overlooking the water, you’ll get a sense of just how important this place once was.
Admission included - 4
But success doesn’t last. The same forces that built Falmouth begin to shift, and the town faces a sudden and dramatic decline. The confidence of the town begins to unravel.
Admission included - 5
Even as Falmouth declines, great events still play out here. Think, cannibals, criminal trials, drama.
Admission included - 6
Falmouth finds a new purpose. And so we end our tour reflecting on a story of dynamism, possibilities and a hope for whatever the next day will bring.
