Is it worth visiting Falmouth, Cornwall - From slums to smuggling and how to live to 100 yrs old!

In this video we return to Falmouth to show a wonderful town walk steeped in history, interest and curiosity.
Falmouth was described in a book called ‘The King’s England - Cornwall’ by Arthur Mee written in 1937 as “Built up in a bay is the modern pleasure town of Falmouth ; but the real Falmouth lies back about its street running all the town’s length, with the grey houses and the church piled up behind it and alleyways slipping down on the other side to ancient wharves and quays. Along this street have rolled smugglers and preventive men, King’s sailors and privateersmen,for it led the way to the harbour which has sent our ships whenever there was an enemy to be fought, a prize to be won, or money to be made.”
Join us as we wander the streets, alleys and opes in search of the real Falmouth, with forgotten stories from it’s past, together with the usual blend of musings and merriment.
The standard description bit…
We are Sarah and Andrew and we film our walks around Cornwall and publish on CZcams, usually weekly. Sometimes we stay in accommodation in Cornwall and upload our vlog. Sarah is fascinated by sea glass and likes to collect it so there may be the occasional sea glass video too. The channel is a hobby and we both have normal day jobs!
