Portmellon Cove

Highlight • Viewpoint

Portmellon is a very small village and cove. The road closely hugs the sandy beach, which is completely covered by the sea at high tide.

There is a snack shack in the beach carpark and a pub next door if you are in need of sustenance.

If you approach Portmellon from the South West you will see the 'Beware Waves' sign on your left. Take heed on stormy days as the waves crash right over the road and can even hit the houses.

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.
