What is there to do in Falmouth? Enough for how many people?

Well, 6,000 is a lot of people for what is not a large town centre, confined to a peninsula, but if you don't have that many the National Maritime Museum Cornwall and Pendennis Castle are both well worth a visit. I would imagine both would be absolutely overwhelmed by that number of visitors, and cannot imagine it is remotely possible to arrange a large number of visits to Cornish sites at short notice to absorb them.

I have some sympathy with the cruise line operators having to find something to occupy that number of people for a day. Do they simply go back to Southampton and offer a refund of most of the cost? With the benefit of hindsight, that might have been better, albeit guaranteeing spoilt holidays for all.

From the Western Daily Echo

“You then had 6,000 people who could not get around Falmouth – there is not a lot there.
