Falmouth

Situated on the the south coast of Cornwall, Falmouth Bay is one of the largest natural harbours in the world and contains a wealth of facinating shipwrecks.

Less than two hours from Plymouth by boat or car, the wrecks around Falmouth are easy to reach. However with some of the most interesting wrecks guarded by the treacherous Manacles to the west and the sheer size of the Bay, boat skills have to be of a high standard.Also for ease I have included the odd wreck which really is just outside Falmouth bay, but near enough.
