Falmouth, Cornwall - Comparing what’s changed using a TOURIST Guide from 1968

Have you stayed in a hotel in Falmouth over the years? Ever wondered if it is still going strong? Maybe you prefer to use a different type of accommodation these days.

We took a guide book from 1968, Cornwall Holiday Guide, and were inspired to visit Falmouth to find some of the hotels advertised in the brochure, to discover if they are still going strong. And if they are no longer there, what became of them and what is in their place now?

As we researched this video, we made some fascinating discoveries about the changing face of Falmouth Sea Front. We learned more about Rev. Coope, owner of Gyllyngdune Estate, and the development of the hotels in Cliff Road to satisfy Victorian tourism.

Find out how we got on as we take a stroll along Cliff Road, Falmouth, starting with the most iconic building, the Falmouth Hotel and ending at Gyllyngvase Beach.

The standard description bit…
We are Sarah and Andrew and we film our walks around Cornwall and publish on YouTube, usually weekly. Sometimes we stay in accommodation in Cornwall and upload our vlog. Sarah is fascinated by sea glass and likes to collect it so there may be the occasional sea glass video too. The channel is a hobby and we both have normal day jobs!
