Falmouth Cornwall Britain Culture and the Arts
3 FollowersFalmouth Cornwall Britain Culture and the Arts. Falmouth is of English origin, a reference to the town's situation on the mouth of the River Fal. The Cornish language name, Aberfal or Aberfala, is of identical meaning. It was at one time known as Pennycomequick,[5] an Anglicisation of the Celtic Pen-y-cwm-cuic 'head of the creek'; this is the same as Pennycomequick, a district in Plymouth.[6]
