A new tour of the UK's best pasty shops has been devised - and Falmouth is the third top 'must visit' location.

Pip's Pasties, Choaks Pasties and Oggies Cornish Kitchen are the three pasty shops in Falmouth that feature in the new Parkdean Resorts tour.

Top of the list is St Ives, followed by Penzance. 

The whole tour is made up of 39 Cornish pasty shops from around the UK, and would take more than 12 hours and 15 minutes to complete, with those attempting it eating more than 30,000 calories.

Using data from Trip Advisor and Google Reviews, Parkdean Resorts have found out which Cornish pasty pulls in the best customer ratings.

The ranking celebrates the tastiest pasties in the UK, revealing the nation's number one and it's no surprise that the majority come from Cornwall.

Coming in first is Over the Top Pasties from Callington, second is The Cornish Vegan in Truro and third is St Agnes bakery.

However, it's St Ives that proves to be the the UK's best location for Cornish pasties in terms of options, with seven of its pasty shops polling high.

In hot pursuit is Penzance, which has four of the highly ranked shops.
