This is a quirky little restaurant in a courtyard in Falmouth. The menu is seasonal and not hugely descriptive so it is a lucky dip! Every time we have been, we have really loved it.

Sightseeing
North Cliffs
Stunning and dramatic coast line as you walk towards Godrevy
Walk over at low tide, catch a boat at high tide and if it's neither in nor out risk it and get rescued when you get stuck half way back to shore! It's steep walk up to the castle but enjoyable even if you just go over for the views and cafe

Fishing harbour, Picturesque and untouched with modern development, recommend parking on the way or in the car park just before for the town rather than braving potential long narrow roads and nervy reversing!
