Flushing is a small waterside village in Cornwall, England, lying on the sheltered upper reaches of the Fal estuary opposite Falmouth. Its narrow lanes, white‑washed cottages and a small working quay reflect a long maritime past: it grew up around shipbuilding, fishing and harbour trade and still feels like a village shaped by the sea.
Today Flushing is popular with sailors, walkers and day visitors, its economy leaning on tourism, marine services and commuters to nearby Falmouth. The outlook over the estuary and the wider Carrick Roads gives dramatic tidal scenery, a strong sailing culture and a close‑knit community that hosts local events and keeps a distinctly local character.
