St Mawes Castle

St Mawes Castle is among the best-preserved of Henry VIII's coastal artillery fortresses, and the most elaborately decorated of them all. Built to guard the anchorage of Carrick Roads along with Pendennis Castle on the other side of the Fal estuary, it is now a fascinating visitor attraction with great views out over the water.
