"Journey through the Timeless River Fal: A Glimpse into Cornwall's Rich History" Step back in time to the enchanting summer of 1912, where the picturesque River Fal unveils its timeless beauty. As we embark on our journey, let us first gaze upon Malpas Ferry, a gateway to tranquility. From here, our eyes wander towards Ferryside Cottage and the charming Ferry House on the St Michael Penkivel side. Moving along this scenic waterway, we find ourselves at St. Mawes, standing proudly at the mouth of River Fal. The view from St. Anthony headland offers an exquisite panorama that stretches across Falmouth - a sight that surely captivated many hearts. Crossing Sett Bridge in Ruan Lanihorne takes us further into history's embrace. These photographs from the early 1900s transport us to an era filled with simplicity and serenity. The estuary below the village whispers tales of fishermen casting their nets and boats gliding gently over calm waters. As we continue our voyage downstream, Malpas Ferry landing comes into view once again. Houses nestled on Tregothnan side paint a picture of riverside living in days gone by - a glimpse into life as it was in Cornwall during those early years of the 20th century. On July 8th, 1912, Malpas Ferry embarked on another adventure with passengers eagerly boarding its vessel for an unforgettable experience along River Fal's meandering path. This snapshot captures both excitement and anticipation as they set sail amidst breathtaking surroundings. A monochromatic photograph showcases River Fal's ethereal charm - nature's masterpiece captured in black and white hues; reminding us that even without colors, its allure remains undiminished. The Prince of Wales himself graced these shores with his presence during his visit to Cornwall - forever immortalized through engravings capturing moments spent navigating this majestic river.
