Pendennis Castle from the branch terminus

Falmouth Docks is the terminus of the Maritime Line from Truro. English Heritage identifies it as the nearest station for Pendennis Castle, with an uphill walk from the railway to the castle. Check the castle’s access guidance if the gradient or the final approach may affect your visit.

For the National Maritime Museum Cornwall at Discovery Quay, the museum instead directs rail visitors to Falmouth Town. Plan the stop and onward route around the attraction you intend to visit. A day combining the castle and harbour needs time for those separate local journeys as well as the train connection at Truro.
