We'd like to 100% echo that, having just got back after an extra couple of days/nights in Falmouth.
Lovely weather today, typically 9C on the way home. So much for flaming June! 
Did spot this boring A8 yesterday on Cliff Road above Castle Beach then took the short train ride from the docks up to Penmere to get back to the hotel.
