A visit to Falmouth for a day out from Boscrowan. The lure was the Annual Spring Flower Show in the Princess Pavilion Falmouth
Daffodils, camellias, rhododendrons, cacti and succulents – you name it – it was there and it’s still only March.
The exterior of the Princess Pavilion is also very beautiful, with pretty sub tropical Gyllingdune gardens to walk through if you approach from the beach road. The temperate climate of Falmouth is very obvious with many interesting plants in flower. A pair of shell seats where one can view from above, protected from the wind and rain.
Then a meander along the coast road overlooking the beaches below . There were agaves in full bloom reaching up to the sky.
And other plants that you just wouldn’t see in other parts of the country outdoors in flower in March and swathes of daffodils to remind us it is Springtime.
Plenty more to see too. Pendennis Castle, the docks, interesting shops crammed into quaint little streets steeped in history of smuggling and contraband and plenty of great eateries too. A great day out!
