ST MAWES CORNWALL | A beautiful Cornwall village just a boat ride away from Falmouth and popular with people enjoying a Cornwall holiday. Let's explore the village together from the harbour to the castle. This is a place you will want to come next time you visit Cornwall
St Mawes, a captivating village perched on the tip of Cornwall's Roseland Peninsula, offers a delightful blend of crystal-clear waters, charming streets, and a rich maritime heritage. Here's why you should consider St Mawes for your next trip:
St Mawes Harbour is the heart of the village. Take a leisurely stroll along the harbor front, admire the colorful fishing boats moored in the water, and breathe in the fresh sea air. Perhaps you'll even spot some playful seals basking on the rocks or yachts gliding across the bay.
While St Mawes itself doesn't have a large beach, several beautiful beaches are located a short distance away. Sheltered Carne Beach offers golden sands and calm waters, perfect for families with young children. Porthpean Beach boasts a wider stretch of golden sand and gentle waves, ideal for swimming and sunbathing.
St Mawes Castle, a 16th-century artillery fort, stands guard over the harbor entrance. Explore the castle and learn about its role in defending Cornwall from invasion. Take a boat trip around the castle for stunning views of the coastline.
Lace up your walking shoes and embark on a scenic coastal walk along the South West Coast Path. The path offers breathtaking views of the coastline, with hidden coves, dramatic cliffs, and opportunities to spot wildlife. Explore sections in either direction, towards Portscatho or towards Falmouth.
While St Mawes itself might be a compact village, the surrounding Roseland Peninsula offers a wealth of experiences:
Explore the charming village of St Just in Roseland, nestled just two miles inland from St Mawes. Visit the beautiful 13th-century church with its gardens nestled beside a peaceful tidal creek.
Venture further afield to explore the Roseland Peninsula, designated for its outstanding natural beauty. Discover charming villages, hidden coves, stunning scenery, and a variety of wildlife.
Take a day trip to the vibrant port town of Falmouth. Explore the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, delve into maritime history at Pendennis Castle, or wander the cobbled streets lined with shops and restaurants.
Catch the King Harry Ferry across the Carrick Roads for a scenic journey. Explore the town of Truro, Cornwall's capital, or visit the Trelissick Gardens, boasting stunning views and a Victorian country house.
Savour fresh seafood at the harborside restaurants, indulge in traditional Cornish pasties, or treat yourself to a cream tea at a charming cafe. St Mawes offers a variety of culinary options to tantalize your taste buds.
