St Mawes Castle

Historic Houses & Building, Industrial Heritage, Visitor Centres, Historic Sites & Monuments
The finest example of Tudor military architecture

The pretty fishing village of St Mawes is home to this castle. On the opposite headland to Pendennis Castle, St Mawes shares the task of watching over the mouth of the River Fal as it has done since Henry VIII built it as a defence against the French. With three huge circular bastions shaped like clover leaves, St Mawes was designed to cover every possible angle of approach. It is the finest example of Tudor military architecture. The castle offers views of St Mawes' little boat-filled harbour, the passenger ferry tracking across the Fal, and the splendid coastline which featured in the Poldark TV series. Also the start of some delightful walks along the coastal path. Opening Times: 1 Apr - 31 Oct: daily, 10am - 6pm (5pm in Oct). Winter: 1 Nov - 31 Mar: Fri - Tue, 10am - 4pm. Closed 1 - 2pm & 24 - 26 Dec & 1 Jan
