Places to see in ( Flushing - UK )
Flushing is a coastal village in west Cornwall, England, UK, in the civil parish of Mylor. It is 3 miles east of Penryn and 10 miles south of Truro. It faces Falmouth across the Penryn River, an arm of the Carrick Roads. he village is known for its yearly Regatta week in July. Flushing lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park.
The village was founded in 1661; there is disagreement about whether there are any houses of the late 17th century. Originally named Nankersey, meaning valley of the reed swamp, the village was given its name by Dutch engineers from Flushing in the Netherlands who built the three main quays in the village. The grand houses on St Peter's Hill, the road that leads into the village, were owned by captains of the packet ships (mail-boats) that docked in nearby Falmouth. Henry VIII intended to build a castle on Trefusis Point, to accompany those built at Pendennis and St. Mawes, but due to the expensive wars was unable to finance it.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, the village's economy mainly relied upon fishing, the two farms and former manors of Trefusis (the original seat of the Trefusis family, Barons Clinton since 1791) and Tregew, together with Falmouth Docks. There was also briefly a copper mine on Jericho beach, but extracting the copper proved commercially unviable. Now Flushing is principally a commuter village for the nearby towns of Penryn, Falmouth and Truro, although some commercial fishing vessels are still based in the village. There are also several B&Bs to cater for tourists; many houses in the village now lie unoccupied for most of the year as they are used as holiday homes.
Most of Flushing's 670 residents live in the centre of the village, on Coventry Road, Kersey Road and St Peter's Hill, although there is limited housing along Trefusis Road out as far as Kiln Beach, and there are also some houses near Trefusis Farm near the border with Mylor Bridge. The doctor's surgery is located in the Village Hall. There are two pubs, the Royal Standard on St Peter's Hill and the Seven Stars on Trefusis Road opposite Fish Cross. There is also a fish restaurant on Ferry Quay.
Flushing Regatta Week is held annually during late July or early August, and features water-based activities such as bathtub racing, rowing, swimming and sailing races, sand-castle building contests, a mini-marathon through Mylor and Flushing, an open-air church service, a pub quiz, crab catching, and a carnival on Saturday night, and has achieved marked popularity locally. Every year, two residents of Flushing who have contributed to the life of the village over a period of time are selected to be the Presidents; their responsibilities include judging competitions and opening events.
The Nankersey Male Choir perform regular concerts throughout the year, raising money for local good causes, and classical concerts and recitals are often held in the Methodist chapel. The village has two gig clubs, Nankersey Rowing Club and Flushing & Mylor Pilot Gig Club.
Due to its position, Flushing is said to be one of the warmest villages in the United Kingdom. The beaches at Kiln are extremely popular in the summer months, particularly with tourists, offering superb views of Falmouth Docks, the Carrick Roads and St Anthony's Head. There is also another beach further around the coast known as Jericho, which is only accessible from the houses directly above the beach or by rowing boat, and is therefore popular with locals.

Off the beaten track in Cornwall: TRANQUIL CORNWALL WALK Durgan and Porth Navas
Parking at Bosveal car park on the road to Durgan, the walk takes you back inland towards Higher Penpol, tracking across fields in the beautiful Cornish countryside, rolling hills and secluded valleys to the creek of Porthnavas. After passing the Budock Vean Hotel, returning to Durgan via a secluded wooded lane. Why not have an explore of Durgan village and beach, maybe an ice cream before returning to your car. A perfect way to beat the crowds in Cornwall this summer!
We filmed this walk in June 2018 but I think that even in August, you will find this walk will be tranquil and peaceful, encountering very few people until you reach Durgan Beach.

Nightfall on Flushing Quay - Cornwall
From
Another time-lapse of Flushing Quay. Taken as night falls and the lights of Falmouth on the opposite bank come on.
A passing squall obscures the vision as heavy rain hits the window. The Flushing Ferry and one of the Enterprise boats can be seen swinging on their moorings.
