St Mawes is a stunning little town built around a quaint harbour encompassing shops, pubs & restaurants with a large helping of dream homes to boot.
Well worth exploring & enjoying the local fayre in the summer sun.

St Mawes Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

St Mawes Castle is one of the best-preserved coastal fortresses built by Henry VIII between 1539 and 1545 to defend against an invasion threat from Catholic France and Spain. The most elaborately decorated of the chain of forts, St Mawes Castle guarded the important anchorage of Carrick Roads along with Pendennis Castle on the other side of the Fal estuary. The castle is managed by English heritage. Tickets cost £6.30 for adults and £3.80 for children. For more information, visit: english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/st-mawes-castle.
