Movies filmed in Falmouth

Treasure Island
1950
“Exterior scenes were shot in Cornwall (River Fal, Falmouth, Carrick Roads, Gull Rock and Helford River), Devon (cliff scenes), Bristol (wharf) and Iver Heath in Buckinghamshire.” Wikipedia
- The Onedin Line 1971–
Named here by Falmouth’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Falmouth, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

World War Z 2013
“In 2011 Paramount Pictures filmed parts of the film World War Z starring Brad Pitt in Falmouth Docks and off the coast.” Wikipedia
