Accessibility

Falmouth Uncovered walking tours do require a certain degree of mobility and fitness, but we want to do everything we can to ensure that everyone can come along.

The information provided is intended to help you anticipate the challenges involved in the usual tour routes. If you still have concerns, we can organise alternate routes for any public tours. For example, on the history tour we can avoid the staircase by using different streets. Just us let us know beforehand.
