Our 160th circular walk is also our first in the Falmouth area.
The walk starts at Mylor Churchtown and follows the Coast Path from Mylor Harbour along the edge of Carrick Roads.
The Carrick Roads oyster dredgers - Europe's only commercial fishing fleet under sail - can often be seen. The local bye-law preventing the use of motor boats for fishing has been successful in preserving the Oyster stocks whilst many others in the UK have been fished out.
Eventually you reach Flushing, which is said to be named after the place that the Dutch engineers who built the quays originated from.
Flushing has excellent views over Falmouth Harbour and therefore was a popular location for ship's captains to live in order to keep an eye on activity in the port. Some of the houses even have turrents with windows at the top, from which the harbour could be surveyed.
The walk is also now available as a guided walk app for Android and in the iWalk app for iPhone.
