Falmouth is the chief town and capital of the parish of Trelawny in Jamaica. It is situated on Jamaica's north coast 18 miles east of Montego Bay. It is noted for being one of the Caribbean's best-preserved Georgian towns. Founded by Thomas Reid in 1769, Falmouth flourished as a market centre and port for forty years at a time when Jamaica was the world's leading sugar producer. It was named after Falmouth, Cornwall in the United Kingdom, the birthplace of Sir William Trelawny, the Governor of Jamaica, who was instrumental in its establishment.
The town was meticulously planned from the start, with wide streets in a regular grid, adequate water supply, and public buildings.
Hi, I just wanted to let you know the great service we had with McTavish Travel. We worked with Carolyn to book our trip to Australia. She took care of our visa's and flights. Our son lost his passport in Australia, we called Carolyn to find out what we could do about our flights to come back. Carolyn worked with us in cancelling and re-booking some flights. Even with the time change, we couldn't always get a hold of Carolyn. Carolyn gave us an email address to contact her after hours which we were very thankful for. Thanks again for the great service Carolyn. We will be using McTavish Travel again.
