Falmouth United Kingdom

Falmouth (in Cornish language: Aberfal) is a city and seaport at the mouth of the Fal River, on the south coast of Cornwall, in England. It has a population, according to the 2001 census of 20,775 inhabitants. It was originally called Peny-cwm-ciuc, which became 'Pennycomequick' (Penny come soon). Falmouth is considered famous for its remarkable harbor. Together with Carrick Roads, it forms the largest natural harbor in Western Europe and the third in the world. It is also famous for being the start or end of several record trips around the world, such as those of Sir Francis Chichester and Ellen MacArthur. It was also the port in which on June 5, 1808, the Asturian embassy disembarked to King George III, after declaring the Principality of Asturias the war against Napoleon.
