Pendennis Castle

Pendennis Castle is a Tudor defense fort near Falmouth. 


Together with it's sister castle, St Mawes. tt was built by Henry VIII to defend England against the Spanish Armarda. Although it has never seen active service, it was extended over the following centuries and played a vital role in defending the River Fal until WWII. 


Today it is managed by English Heritage and guided tours are offered.

Is it worth visiting...

We have visited regularly and enjoyed our experiences. Like all businesses, it has changed over the years but is it worth paying the entrance fee?
