Along with the port still fully functioning as a cargo one where goods are brought onto the mainland. The port is also a popular stopping point with many cruise ship operators as well. In 2007, the port was expecting 64 cruise ships to actually stop in at Falmouth port before continuing on their journeys. The port is still a vital part of the town and is responsible for much of the local economy.
However, over the years because of its location and the surrounding area this town has been popular with film and television crews. During 1935, the actor Will Hay was to be found staying in the town whilst the comedy film "Windbag the Sailor" was being produced. Later, the town saw Sir John Mills star during the filming of Scott of the Antarctic. In addition, Disney used the town as part of its filming of Treasure Island.
Certainly, if you are old enough or if you have seen these films you will soon be able to recognise some of the places in the town as you stroll around that formed the backdrop to some of the scenes. Tourists from the world over still come to visit and the town has tried to retain as much of its original character as it possibly can.
For those who are looking for somewhere to go that offers a peaceful, gentle time then Falmouth vacations may be the ideal choice.
