6 One of the main reasons that the Fal River has established itself as Cornwalls most popular visitor destination is the stunning, unspoilt natural beauty that surrounds it.

For me, it is so important that we manage the growth in visitor numbers in a sustainable way and protect that which has made theFal River so special.

This is why Fal River Links is so important. By providing a fun and reliable network of ferries, buses and trains that connect all the great places to visit around the river, visitors really have every reason to enjoy a car free day out.

We launched the Fal Mussel Card in 2010 to help tempt people away from their car and last year we saw sales increase by 400%. This innovative travel card is a win win for visitors. Its great value, easy to use, fun and is your ideal ticket for a great day out on the river.

Discover Falmouth (p56)The third largest natural deep water harbour in the world, Falmouth and its active port are bustling with activity all year round. Falmouth plays host to a wide range of cafes,shops, galleries and bars. it is also home to the Maritime Museum and Pendennis Castle as well as hosting the Oyster Festival, Fal river Festival and Falmouth Week.

Falmouth has limited long stay parking and for this reason the Park & Float / ride was established in 2003. visitors to the town can now help reduce congestion and pollution by using the 500 space car park on the outskirts of town at Ponsharden.

Wash away the stress of parking. after reaching Ponsharden, hop aboard one of our classic ferries and enjoy an informative commentary on your way to Falmouth.

All day parkingWith over 500 spaces, toilets, refreshments and regular boat & bus services into Falmouth, Ponsharden is the ideal place to leave your car before heading into Falmouth or further afield for the day.

Park and FloatWhat better way to arrive in Falmouth than aboard a classic wooden ferry? after parking at Ponsharden take a leisurely trip down the Penryn river to Falmouths Custom House Quay. Ferries depart from the car park every 20 minutes. We love our ferries and we hope you do to!

Park and RideBuses depart from the car park every 20 minutes and go direct to Falmouths High street and Prince of Wales Pier. From PW Pier the Maritime Museum is a 10-15 minutes walk through the centre of town.

Ferries & Boat trips

Get FREE ALL DAY PARKING when you buy a 1 day Fal Mussel

Card Visitor. It gives you UNLIMITED

Hop-On Hop-Off travel around the river on ferries, buses and trains (p11).

One day adult card ONLY 16.

dioxide and 7 tons of

carbon pollution.

travelling from Lands

The St Mawes Ferry connects the charming fishing village of St Mawes with the bustling port of Falmouth. The ferry provides an all year round service to over 162,000 visitors a year and is an absolute must for anyone visiting Cornwall.

Passing the impressive castles of st Mawes & Pendennis, the ferry route takes you on a magical journey across the Carrick roads. as well as the castles you will see many large ships, the working docks of Falmouth, Black rock (a local isolated shipping hazard) and, if youre lucky, some of the dolphins and bask-ing sharks that regularly visit the harbour.

The classic wooden ferries depart every hour during the winter and three times an hour during the summer. Capacity is never a problem as each ferry can carry up to 100 passengers and covered seating is provided in case we get some Cornish liquid sunshine.

safety is paramount and all our vessels and staff are licensed by the Maritime & Coastguard agency.

The PastThere has been a ferry running between st Mawes & Falmouth since 1827. since then the service has seen a multitude of vessels operating on the well established route. its estimated that since its inception, over 50 million passengers have made the historic passage between st Mawes & Falmouth.

King Harry Ferry - Voted one of the Top Ten ferry crossings in the world.The Independent on Sunday

In order to guide the

350 tonne ferry back

and forth in all weather

conditions, the ferrys

270m long chains have

to be incredibly strong

and tough. With up to

80 crossings a day, 364

days a year, the chains

undergo a huge amount

of wear and have to be

replaced regularly. After

entering the ferry over

small jockey wheels at

each end the chain is

fed onto the main drive

wheels (You can see

the chain through the

glass windows in the

deck) which pull the

ferry across the river.

These large wheels are

over 2m in diam-

eter and are driven by

hydraulic motors, which

in turn are powered by

one of the ferrys three

diesel engines.

The King Harry Ferry is an iconic part of Cornwalls history. Estab-lished in 1888 it connects St Mawes and the Roseland Peninsula with Feock, Truro and Falmouth by avoiding the alternative 27 mile route through Truro & Tresillian.

One of only five chain ferries in england, it departs every 20 minutes from each side, 7 days a week and the ferry is a key transport link for visitors and locals alike.

The king Harry Ferry offers its passengers the chance to avoid miles of congested roads and once aboard you can get out and enjoy the slow river crossing which takes in one of Cornwalls deepest and most beauti-ful rivers - the Fal river..

The new ferry with its glass side, chain view-ing windows and touch screen information display is combining state of the art tech-nology with a traditional friendly service.

safety is paramount and the ferry and its staff are fully licensed by the Coastguard.

Although the new ferry has

only been running for 6 years

it has already travelled over

Each day the ferry sup-

ports an average of 800

commuter trips, 150 local

businesses and up to 650

vehicle crossings.

The King Harry Ferry is one

of only five chain ferries in

England.

The ferry weighs 350 tonnes,

is 55.2 metres in length, 14.3

metres in width and can carry

up to 34 cars.

Each chain has a breaking

strain of 75 tons, thats

enough to lift 1.4 million

Voted one of the top ten ferry

The pastThere has been a ferry operating here for more than 500 years since it was estab-lished by charter. The new ferry is the 7th to operate a vehicle service since 1888.

The ferry bridge crosses king Harrys reach which is part of the Pilgrims Way to st Michaels Mount and is named after king Henry vi, the lancastrian king. The passage was called kybyllys which means ferryboat in Cornish.
