Places to see in ( St Mawes - UK )
St Mawes is a village opposite Falmouth, on the Roseland Peninsula on the south coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It lies on the east bank of the Carrick Roads, a large waterway created after the Ice Age from an ancient valley which flooded as the melt waters caused the sea level to rise dramatically, creating an immense natural harbour, often claimed to be the third largest in the world. It was once a busy fishing port, but the trade declined during the 20th century and it now serves as a popular tourist location, with many properties in the town functioning as holiday accommodation. The town is in the civil parish of St Just in Roseland.
A year-round ferry provides a service to Falmouth, which is less than a mile away by boat, but due to its proximity to the Fal estuary it is some 30 miles (48 km) away by road. The Place Ferry links the South West Coast Path and operates from Good Friday to the end of October.
St Mawes was once an important town and was made a borough in 1563, returning two members to parliament. It was disfranchised in 1832. St Mawes Castle is a well-preserved coastal fortress from the time of Henry VIII, built to counter the invasion threat from the Continent. Charles Henderson, writing in 1925, says of St Mawes, an ancient fishing town which in late years has assumed the different and more sophisticated character of a watering place. The seal of St Mawes was Az. a bend lozengy Or between a tower in the sinister chief Arg. and a ship with three masts the sail furled in the dexter base of the second, with the legend Commune Sigillum Burgi de St. Mawes al Mauditt.
St Mawes lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park. As well as this St Mawes is considered to be home to one of the oldest small Cornish bakeries in the county of Cornwall. The St Mawes bakery is estimated to have been founded in 1912 by the Curtis family (the current owners) making it 100 years old in 2012. Although the bakeries premises is probably much older (going back to the 1800s).

Many mines are near St Just including Cape Cornwall Mine, Wheal Castle, Wheal Owles and Botallack Mine. Many of the terraces in St Just are built in long rows one after another. These are miners terraces and were built to accommodate the miners. St Just is also in an area of Cornwall well known for its ancient sites.

Tom Thumb Rock, a rock used for sacrifices at the sunset of St Just's Feast Day, sits just outside the town.
St Just-In-Penwith has been used in the German TV Series 'Rosamunde Pilcher' as well as the 1970's version of Poldark.

Lostwithiel - ancient stannary town
Lostwithiel has a rich heritage. Founded by the Norman lords who built the original Restormel Castle, it was developed to become a major port for seagoing ships, exporting tin to Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean. The castle was rebuilt in the late 13th century by Edmund, Earl of Cornwall, who was also responsible for building the Great Hall, the bridge and the square church tower which can all be seen today. Edmund was very proud of his beautiful, thriving little town and called it his 'Lily of the Valley' and 'Fairest of Small Cities'. Visit

A Cornwall experience! This short film is a record of my 120 mile adventure on the Cornwall Coastal Path from Padstow south to Lands End via St Ives, and then east via Pendeen and The Minack Theatre onto Penzance - from cliff top to cove to sandy beach through gorges, idyllic Cornish villages & surfing nirvana. The 8 day walk plus 2 rest days was mesmerizingly beautiful as you will see! By setting this to music, I have tried to capture the spirit of each area. My thanks to 'Encounter Walking' for helping me to organise this unforgettable trip.
