Hello, we're planning a trip to the Maritime museum when we visit Cornwall at the end of the month - can anyone advise on traffic in Falmouth and ease of parking etc? We'll be coming from St Agnes direction (north). I am NOT a confident driver, mostly worried as I struggle to find my way in busy traffic.
Thanks :)

Think as far as I can remember was very easy. Car park directly outside museum. Can't remember what time of year we went last so could be busy for parking in summer but seem to remember the route into town very straightforward. Follow main road in , turn right at a roundabout , follow the road down & looking at google map turn off but presume signposted as we didnt have a problem & takes you straight to car park. Falmouth isnt that big a place really.
If you look at the google satellite map it gives you a pretty good idea.

Ooh wellies might see you there! We are off to falmouth for a week at the end of the month! I've never been before but I'm told you can get a water taxi from surrounding areas to right outside the maritime museum.

There is a park and ferry option which we used. Get a short boat trip too and it drops you off right by the maritime museum. Well worth it to get in the maritime mood!

That's all really reassuring thanks. Fingers crossed for little traffic, straightforward road signs and easy parking!

Very easy to get to! Parking right outside. Loads of places to eat nearby. You can walk to the beaches too.
