Falmouth, a part of the United Kingdom, is more than just a town or port on the River Fal. With its rich lineage dating back to the late 16th century when its defences were fortified in light of the Spanish Armada, it's a place steeped in history. The town's founder Sir John Killigrew and the long-standing Falmouth Packet Service add to its remarkable past. The town was an integral naval base during the French Revolutionary Wars and has carried the torch of its maritime tradition updated, evident in the Falmouth Docks established in 1858.

Aside from its maritime legacy, Falmouth has woven itself into the thread of British Literature, bearing connections to beloved characters such as Toad, Mole, and Rat from “The Wind in the Willows”. The town’s fascinating aura has been captured on the silver screen in productions from "Treasure Island" (1950) to "World War Z" (2011). Whether it's the art exhibitions at the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society or the local radio station, Source FM, culture thrives in this coastal town. In 2016, the charm of Falmouth was recognised with the "Great British High Street 2016" award in the Coastal Community category.

Reaching Falmouth is effortlessly uncomplicated. The town is connected to the A39 road, providing access to Bath and the A30, which links to the M5 motorway. Three railway stations on the Maritime Line, as well as ferry routes to St Mawes, Flushing, and Trelissick, ensure that the town is well-connected. Falmouth has substantial educational establishments, including five primary schools, one secondary school, and Falmouth University.
