Flushing, a pristine Cornish village beside the
Penryn River estuary, is a picture-perfect location you’ll want to write home
about.
This is the ideal place for settling down in front
of the view and penning some postcards as you watch boats sail past. The local
events scene will give you plenty of inspiration too, not to mention vibrant Falmouth
just across the water and nearby Trebah
and Glendurgan
gardens.
Flushing
Carnival takes place on 28th July this year while Falmouth holds its inaugural arts festival from
7th to 16th September. SPLASH will
play host to artists and writers including Michael Morpurgo, the award-winning
author of War Horse and former Children's Laureate, and the renowned
illustrator and author Michael Foreman.
Seafood lovers will want
to make a trip in October for the Falmouth
Oyster Festival from
11th to 14th October. This event marks the start of the oyster dredging season
at one of the last remaining
traditional oyster fisheries. It is followed shortly after by the Fal River Autumn Walking Festival from 19th October to 4th November – a great chance to explore and
learn about this beautiful corner of Cornwall on a guided or self-guided walk.
Clottage (pictured above and right), a
much loved holiday cottage by the water in Flushing, is a favourite with
return visitors. Its peaceful location and estuary views, as well
as the good pubs and friendly locals, add to its charm. Clottage is within easy
reach of the sheltered sandy and rock pool beaches at Falmouth, which is also
home to the National Maritime Museum.
