Falmouth - Places to See

Falmouth's Blowhole
The town's premier attraction is 'the blowhole' although this is something of a misnomer. The 'blowhole' is actually a rather large fissure in the rocks where the waves, when they break, cause plumes of spray to rise spectacularly into the air. To get to the blowhole the visitor needs to walk some distance north along the cliffs. The walk is pleasant with the rocks tumbling down towards the sea. The views are excellent and near the blowhole it is possible to see the beach which lies to the north across Henderson Lagoon.
