Pendennis Castle

Highlight • Castle

Nice Tudor castle, worth a visit if you’re in the area

Tip by

2.75 km

Pendennis Headland affords breathtaking views across Falmouth Harbour and along the Cornish coastline. If you are lucky, you might spot dolphins off the coastline here. The imposing Pendennis Castle dominates the headland. Built in the 1540s, the castle was one of many new defenses along coastline to guard against a potential attack from Spain, France, and the Pope in response to Henry VIII’s controversial decision to break from catholicism.

Arwenack Street, Falmouth

Highlight • Settlement

Today, Falmouth, with its approximately 20,000 inhabitants, is a fishing port, a port of call for sports yachts and cruise ships, and a holiday resort with a small-town idyll. The alleys of the harbor district still seem like a snapshot of that time.
