Guidebook: Pendennis And St Mawes
The castles of Pendennis and St Mawes were built by Henry VIII as part of a chain of coastal forts to defend England against Spain and France. Later, Pendennis Castle saw action in the English Civil War, and then again in the Second World War. On the other side of the Fal estuary, St Mawes remains the most ornate survivor of Henry's forts. This beautifully illustrated new guide provides a full tour and history of both sites.
