Stairlifts Falmouth - Falmouth in the South of Cornwall

Heading further south still in the county of Cornwall, we come to Falmouth just 25 miles from our last destination of St Austell.  It is the third deepest natural harbour combined with Carrick Roads in the world so you won't be surprised to learn that it is also famous as the start or finish port for round the world voyages including those of Sir Francis Chichester and Dame Ellen MacArthur.

But we're jumping the gun – i.e. starting the race before the starting gun goes off!  Castle Comfort Stairlifts brings you a short tour guide of Falmouth so that you know your way around this Cornish town and harbour.

Castle Comfort Stairlifts like to make getting around especially in your own homes as easy and painless as possible especially for those less mobile than they once were whether through injury or deterioration.  We can advise you on any kind of stairlift, just call our local office on 01395 349198.

Of course we can also help commercial enterprises, like hotels, guest houses and B and B's look for passenger or wheelchair lifts which are DDA compliant for their premises.

After this short but important interruption of the tour let's get back to Falmouth whose name is derived from the Anglo-Saxon Abefal meaning 'mouth of the River Fal'.  Tudor King Henry VIII built Pendennis Castle(pictured top) and St Mawes Castle (pictured here) to defend Carrick Road from invasions by the French and Spanish.

A few hundred years later HMS Beagle docked here after its five year round the world survey voyage with Charles Darwin on board and after which he wrote and published Origin of the Species.

Now Falmouth Harbour still has a commercial operation and is also home to the Falmouth Lifeboat Station and the National Cornish Maritime Museum which has a number of famous boats on show.
