Included excursions
Trebah Gardens
1 / 2
Trebah is a wooded 26-acre sub-tropical ravine garden that descends to its own beach on the beautiful Helford River. Steeped in history, this beautiful garden is the result of over 180 years of inspiration and dedication. Explore four miles of footpaths that wind through dazzling exotic planting, transporting you from this little corner of England to sunnier climes. See Trebah’s groves of huge Australian tree ferns and palms, giant gunnera, clumps of huge bamboos, as well as azaleas and rhododendrons.
The Cornish Seal Sanctuary
1 / 2
The Sea Life Trust Cornish Seal Sanctuary is a charity that rescues and rehabilitates grey seal pups from around the Cornish coastline, rehabilitating around 70 seal pups each season from malnourishment or being separated from their mum. Experience these endearing marine animals up close and learn all about their individual stories.
Location
Penryn Campus is set amid 100 acres of land overlooking the town of Penryn and famed for its sub-tropical flora and fruit-producing orchards. It boasts views towards the Fal estuary and is a mile and half from the centre of Penryn and around four miles from Falmouth. Given its setting, navigating around the campus involves a number of short inclines walks and steps. There is a regular bus service from the campus to both Penryn and Falmouth.
Out and about
Falmouth is a vibrant fusion of seafaring industry and maritime heritage, artistic creativity and bustling student life – all surrounded by the wild beauty of its dramatic coastline. A haven for nature lovers and artists, Falmouth is the place to visit if you want to enjoy fresh sea air and beautiful beaches, and the town itself offers great places to eat, interesting independent shops, colourful bars and cultural venues. Penryn is one of the oldest towns in Cornwall, and in the 15th century was a major port. Located at the head of the Penryn River, this harbour town is full of medieval character with its traditional stone terraces, ‘opes’ and alleyways, which contain some 250 listed buildings. Explore the many art galleries, shops, eateries and cafes.
Walking the salt path
This glorious part of Cornwall is perfect for long coastal walks, breathing fresh sea air and enjoy some the country’s best views. From Falmouth’s seafront promenade, you can walk sections of the South West Coast Path past beaches like Gyllyngvase and Swanpool, to find Cornwall’s most dramatic cliffs and pretty hidden coves. Take up the trail yourself and follow one of many routed paths, or join a local guide for a guided walk with others.
National Maritime Museum Cornwall
With over 15 galleries, a boatbuilding workshop, interactive exhibits and a collection of artworks, maps and charts, memorabilia and other objects, there is plenty to see at the excellent National Maritime Museum Cornwall. Located at Discovery Quay in the centre of Falmouth, the museum is a great place to visit to get an insight into Cornish life past and present.
Four beautiful beaches
Within a short distance of Falmouth, you will find a choice of four beautiful beaches, the most famous being Gyllyngvase Beach, only 500 yards from the town centre and well known for its Blue Flag award-winning golden sand. To the east of Gyllyngvase lies Castle Beach with its sunken U-Boat wreck and beautiful rocky reefs, and to the west, Swanpool Beach and Maenporth Beach.
