With the frequent train service on the Falmouth branch taking a river trip is an interesting and worthwhile experience. Travelling either Falmouth Docks or Falmouth Town (Which is closer) make your way to the Prince of Wales pier from which there is a frequent service to Truro. The boats travel via St Mawes and King Harry to Truro. Depending on the state of tide you will taken to the centre of Truro by boat or at low water to Malpas from whence there is a connecting bus service to Truro. There are frequent buses from Truro quay back to the station. As can be seen Mike took this trip on an excellent day on 12th June 2014 For details of the ferry times go to this link www.falriver.co.uk/getting-about/ferries/enterprise-boats
