St Mawes Castle Description

Like Pendennis Castle on the other side of the river, the castle (1540-43) at St Mawes (2mi/3km south of St Just) was one of a series of fortresses built by Henry VIII to secure the south coast of England against attack by France. From St Anthony Head, the southernmost point of the Roseland peninsula, a splendid panoramic view unfolds.
