St Mawes Castle

We hopped on the ferry from Falmouth to St Mawes to visit the castle. Built by Henry 8th, this "modern" castle has stunning views over the estuary. Our little explorer loved the connect four game and the amazing views. Lots of information boards and fascinating facts about the history of the castle and the area.

Took the ferry from Falmouth for a short day trip. Although a little on the small side, the castle is in excellent condition and has lots of areas to explore. There are also some excellent views of the bay. Recommend a visit.

There is extra parking at the castle, but not marked up. There is what looks like a slip road that has a steep decline, but if you take that one left of the main car park there is lots of space. Castle is very interesting. Well worth a visit.

Have never been to the castle before, it's definitely worth a visit if you are around st mawes. There are good parking facilities for everyone, toilets and a gift shop. Some beautiful visit across to Falmouth as well. If you love history this is a must

Fascinating castle, having visited Portland Castle earlier this year, similar design. Very well preserved as usual good information boards thoroughly recommended

Really nice castle for a walk around, stunning views Staff very nice and friendly

I am continually amazed by these unique architectural landmarks of history. There are still many well-preserved castles in England, and this is truly delightful. Although St Mawes Castle is relatively small compared to others, it still offers an interesting experience. A coastal fortress that has stood the test of time. The beautiful nature, stunning views, and overall charm of this place create an unforgettable experience. 🏰

This English Heritage site is much smaller than Pendennis but still quite fascinating - very well preserved for a building nearly 500 years old.. The car park is small and the entrance is on the right as the road curves left, with the castle in front of you. Excellent views out to sea, quite glorious on a sunny day. Steps and sloping paths make it difficult for pushchairs but those can be left by the entrance.
