A thatched pub with outdoor seating all along the floating pontoon. The food is highly recommended and people even arrive by boat. A great place to watch the world go by.

Taking the Flushing Ferry from Falmouth to Flushing is a great way to link up to Trefusis and Penarrow Points without having to run all the way round the roads. The ferry runs year round and takes just 10 minutes. It makes a novel way to catch your breath on a run.

As Trefusis Road rounds the bend in the coastline there are fantastic views across to Falmouth and east to Carrick Roads and St Mawes beyond. New Quay House stands proudly on the riverbank. Now a holiday cottage, this grade II listed building was built in 1703 as the home for a Merchant Ship Captain.
