Those staying in Cornwall holiday cottages this year will be able to check out the views from a historic ferry crossing before they set off, thanks to the new installation of a webcam.
St Mawes Ferry Company, which runs the Falmouth ferry crossing, has set up the device onto the Duchess of Cornwall, transmitting an image every ten seconds for visitors to the company”s website.
According to the Packet, the route has been popular for 120 years and could be a must-see for those spending some time away in Cornwall – with the webcam acting as a way to find out if the ferry is running.
Paul Harry, who installed the webcam, told the newspaper: ””We are now looking at other webcams … that we can install around the river in addition to the cameras already installed at the National Maritime Museum Cornwall and on Gyllyngvase Beach."
The King Harry”s Cornwall website currently offers webcam views of the Falmouth docks, Trevano Gardens and Events Square.
