Sewage outlets within 3 km
Filter by the latest company report. The map follows the filters. This is a location search, not a list of outlets proven to affect Gyllyngvase, and it does not include every possible source of pollution.
Filters apply to the map and list. Recent stops need a current report and a recorded stop time. They do not show whether water is safe.

Before you visit
- Open the official bathing-water profile for current advice.
- Read local signs and check local conditions.
- Use the Swim Healthy guidance to reduce open-water risks.
Designation and a map point do not establish parking, lifeguard cover, access or a safe route. A stopped overflow report does not mean that the bathing water is safe.

Questions about Gyllyngvase
- Is Gyllyngvase safe to swim in today?

- The annual classification is in the highest quality class. The Environment Agency sets the class from water samples taken over several bathing seasons, not from a single visit.

- Are there sewage outlets near Gyllyngvase?
- 19 outlet records fall within 3 km of the monitoring point. The nearest is Queen Mary Gardens SPS Pscsoeo Falmouth, about 0.4 km away. Distance alone does not show whether an outlet affects this water.
