Take a trip on the St Mawes Ferry 

All year round

Enjoy some time out on the water this month with a trip to St Mawes or Falmouth on the St Mawes Ferry. This magical route connects the old-world fishing harbour of St Mawes on the Roseland Peninsula with the bustling maritime port of Falmouth, steeped in history and heritage. At this time of year, the ferries depart from Falmouth's Prince of Wales Pier at quarter past the hour and from St Mawes quarter to the hour. Soak in the serene surroundings this winter on board the St Mawes Ferry.
