LOCATION

Frobisher is a popular terrace of mostly period homes, set up above and paralleling Falmouth's harbour and Greenbank Quay in a truly uplifting spot where magnificent water and coastal views are enjoyed. The situation is convenient for accessing the waterside with so much of interest and to offer within a few minutes walk. Some great ale houses and eateries are close by; the Star and Garter, Boathouse and Greenbank Hotel are some of our favourites. Nearby is Falmouth's bustling High Street which has enjoyed a remarkable renaissance in recent years - home to an eclectic mixture of antiquarian and individual shops and galleries and great restaurants and cafes such as Stones Bakers, Indidog, Daaku and Boo Koos. Train stations (Falmouth Town and Penmere Halt) provide a convenient link to the mainline at Truro for Exeter and London, Paddington.

Falmouth Docks are a major contributor to the town's economy and along with Falmouth University (with campuses in Falmouth and Penryn) and Falmouth Marine School, specialising in traditional and modern boat building, marine engineering and environmental science, ensure an all year round and vibrant community. There are five primary schools and one secondary school in the town and highly regarded independent preparatory and senior schools in Truro. Falmouth boasts the third largest natural harbour in the world and is renowned for its maritime facilities which offer some of the best boating and sailing opportunities in the country. The town is consistently ranked as one of the top ten places to live in the UK.
