Mylor is only minutes away from Falmouth, Flushing, St Mawes, and other ports of call by Aquacab, making getting there part of the fun. Or if you prefer to see things at a more thoughtful pace, why not hire a boat and creek crawl for the day?

You can visit these harbour towns and villages with their castles, art galleries, and museums or have lunch at any one of a number of waterside pubs and restaurants and then walk lunch off on one of several quiet

beaches which are best approached by water. You also have a choice of "family" beaches. The National Trust has a strong presence in the county and Cornwall is renowned for its gardens. One of its finest, Trelissick, can be seen from Mylor. Others nearby worth visiting are Trebah, Glendurgan, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project.
