Flushing is understood to be one of the warmest villages in the UK by virtue of its sheltered south-facing aspect on the banks of Falmouth Harbour and the Penryn River.
Formerly the location of choice of Packet Ship captains and visited by Admiral Nelson, the village has become one of the most sought-after locations anywhere in the West Country by virtue of its temperate climate, picturesque terraced cottages and beautiful unspoilt surrounding countryside. There is also immediate access onto perhaps the finest day sailing waters anywhere in the county, the nearby Fal Estuary, with its tree-lined tributaries, out onto Falmouth Bay and beyond to the Helford River and Western Approaches.
Unlike many picturesque Cornish villages, Flushing still benefits from a strong and friendly community. Visitors are made very welcome at all times of the year as they enjoy this beautiful location on the Cornish Riviera.
