When visiting Cornwall last summer, I was charmed by the simple beauty of the little village of Flushing, just across the Penryn River from the port and docks of Falmouth, separated by Carrick Roads.
It surprises me that this village houses just over 600 inhabitants, it looks too small for that when you walk the narrow streets that weren’t designed for cars to be able to pass one another.
Part of Cornwall’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, founded in 1661, flushing housed the captains and officers of the packet ships that docked in Falmouth. The village was named after the Dutch village with the same name after Dutch engineers built the 3 main quays in the village.
My cousin proposed this village as a good place to let the dog enjoy the beach and a swim. The beach is not that big, but it is dog friendly.
