Walk - Swanpool Nature Reserve
4.5 miles (7.3 km)
Swanpool Beach Car Park - TR11 4EJ Swanpool Beach Car Park
Moderate - This gentle walk, with a relatively small amount of ascent and descent, travels on footpaths through a very pastoral area of Falmouth, a world away from its bustling docks and busy streets.
An important nature reserve and the home of Britain's only Trembling Sea Mat, Swanpool is an unusual lagoon backed by a rare wooded wetland. This gentle walk, with a relatively small amount of ascent and descent, travels on footpaths through a very pastoral area of Falmouth, a world away from its bustling docks and busy streets. It is a lovely walk in spring, when migrant willow warblers and chiffchaffs call from bushes decked out in blossom and catkins. Children will love the sense of adventure in a peaceful wilderness.
