Fiona Whitty (Image: Fiona Whitty) Situated on the south coast of Cornwall, Falmouth is a busy but friendly town with a string of superb beaches and a laid-back vibe. It was recently voted the friendliest UK seaside town and one of the country's best places to live. It was also described as being Cornwall’s "cooler town" by TimeOut, which ranked it ninth on its 15 best places to visit in the UK.
Journalist Fiona Whitty went to stay and found beaches, loads of outdoor activities, great restaurants and "superb" accommodation at the St Michaels Resort. Fiona and her family also had the masterstroke of travelling to Falmouth on an overnight sleeper train, avoiding a long (potentially horribly long if holiday traffic goes against you) and tedious car journey. The Night Riviera service by Great Western Railway departs London Paddington at 11.
