Today it's St.Mawes on Cornwall's Roseland Peninsula. The photos were all snapped last year while on a boat.
St.Mawes town lies on the banks of the Carrick Roads
The photo above is looking towards the St. Mawes Sailing Club, the Post Office, a cafe and bank.
Now we have two photos of St.Mawes Castle, again looking from the water.
The castle was built between 1540 and 1545, as part of a defensive chain of fortresses by Henry VIII to protect Cornwall and England's south coast. It is now open to the public.
Lovely photo's Mike, the fortress looks interesting & very well maintained. I'm pleased it's open to the public, we must preserve our history.
ReplyDeleteThanks David, the castle is now run by English Heritage so is well preserved - despite its age!
DeleteBe interesting to see from the boat. Hope to visit this year as we have gone eng heritage and need our cornish fix. Looked a gorgeous day.
ReplyDeleteThe castle is run by English Heritage. We are having a lovely spell of weather. If I look out of the window there is a clear dark blue sky. Thanks.
