1. Falmouth in Cornwall isn't a pretty place at all.
2. It doesn't have a beautiful waterfront.
3. There's this castle built by Henry VIII, but who cares about that?
4. It's not like it looks dramatic in the dawn light or anything.
5. Falmouth has the third-deepest harbour in the world, and every year dozens of tall ships gather there.
6. But how impressive is that really?
7. The town itself is pretty blah.
