COR_0638 - St Mawes Castle - 1989
COR_0638 - St Mawes Castle - 1989

St Mawes Castle (Cornish: Kastel Lannvowsedh) is one of the best-preserved of Henry VIII's coastal artillery fortresses, and the most elaborately decorated.
It was constructed between 1540 and 1542. From the 1920s it was opened as a tourist attraction but pressed back into military service during the Second Word War.
Today it is operated by English Heritage. It has also been used as a TV / film location notably featuring in the 1970s BBC TV Adaptation of Poldark (Series 2) and in the Hornblower TV Movie. On both these occasions posing as a French Fort.
