Flushing Cornwall Map

About Flushing

Flushing draws its character from the gentle curve of the Carrick Roads, a waterside village that breathes the saline air of the Fal estuary. It lies 1.3 km north-north-east of Falmouth (from Falmouth: bearing 13°T, OS grid SW 808 339). The houses of Flushing, with their sturdy granite walls and slate roofs, seem to lean towards the water as if in perpetual conversation with the tides. A sense of quiet industry once pulsed through Flushing, tied to the maritime activities of the surrounding waterways, and though the grand sailing ships are gone, the echoes of their passage can still be felt in the weathered stone and the salty tang that clings to the air. The village green, a patch of well-trodden grass, offers a tranquil counterpoint to the restless movement of the estuary, a place where local life unfolds at its own unhurried cadence.
