Falmouth Boslowick in Cornwall, England is a largely residential suburb to the west of Falmouth town centre, set on gentle slopes that offer pleasant views towards the estuary and are within easy reach of the coast and coastal footpaths. The area combines Victorian and 20th‑century housing with small local shops, cafés and community amenities, and lies not far from Gyllyngvase beach and the maritime activity around Falmouth harbour.
Locally it has a quiet, community feel, with a mix of commuters, families and retirees; the local economy draws on tourism, marine services and the creative and arts scene centred on Falmouth's university. The neighbourhood grew as Falmouth expanded in the 19th and 20th centuries to service the town’s shipping and naval connections, and today remains a popular, well‑connected residential part of the town.
