Historic Castle with great views
St. Mawes Castle的点评
点评：Having been to St Mawes is twin castle Pendennis many years ago the opportunity to visit was not to be missed. Both built by Henry IIIV to protect the Fal estuary.
Firstly a big thank you must go to the staff member how helped us at the entrance. When we went to pay he asked if we were members of English Heritage. Of course coming from South Africa we were not. He then told us about a short visitor membership we could take up for 16 days. Our entrance fee was part of the membership cost and we were now entitled to discount at other English Heritage sites. Over all through our visit we paid back the membership fee. So if you are an overseas visitor it maybe worth your while joining the visitor membership if you like historical sites.
St Mawes is a small round castle some might even say picturesque, situated on a headland above the village of St Mawes with unrestricted views of the Fal estuary to Falmouth itself.
The castle is essentially one big gun emplacement with cannon on the foreshore in front of the castle and on the battlements.
Inside the castle there are plenty of information points so you get a really good picture of what life was like. There are a number of circular stairways that allow you to get to the top of the castle and down to the kitchen and troop living areas. The views of the Fal from the top of the castle are great. Which gives you the clear picture of why it was such a great defensive portion and twinned with Pendennis covered the entrance to Falmouth.
While we were visiting there was a lot of restoration work being carried out on the cannons and other metal artifacts that had sign of corrosion.
There is also a short walk around the outside where you can see further fortifications and cannon.
There is a small souvenir shop at the entrance and a coffee vendor near the outside cannon emplacement.
One take away I did have was what would Henry IIIV as a proud englishman think if he saw that there was no Union Jack flying above the castle.
St mawes castle is well worth a visit if you are in the area.

翻译：多年前曾去过圣莫斯的姊妹城堡彭登尼斯，这次参观的机会不容错过。两座城堡均由亨利三世建造，以保护法尔河口。
首先，必须非常感谢在入口处帮助我们的工作人员。当我们去付款时，他问我们是否是英国遗产的成员。当然，我们来自南非，不是。然后他告诉我们，我们可以申请 16 天的短期访客会员资格。我们的入场费是会员费的一部分，现在我们有权在其他英国遗产遗址享受折扣。在整个访问过程中，我们偿还了会员费。因此，如果您是海外游客，如果您喜欢历史遗迹，加入访客会员也许值得。
圣莫斯是一座小型圆形城堡，有些人甚至会说它风景如画，坐落在圣莫斯村上方的岬角上，可以一览无余地欣赏法尔河口到法尔茅斯本身的景色。
这座城堡本质上是一个大型炮台，大炮位于城堡前滩和城垛上。
城堡内有很多信息点，因此您可以很好地了解当时的生活。有许多圆形楼梯可以通往城堡顶部，然后下到厨房和部队生活区。从城堡顶部可以欣赏到法尔茅斯的美景。这让您清楚地了解为什么它是如此出色的防御工事，并与彭登尼斯一起覆盖了法尔茅斯的入口。
我们参观时，大炮和其他有腐蚀迹象的金属制品正在接受大量修复工作。
在外面还有一条短途步行道，您可以看到更多的防御工事和大炮。
入口处有一家小纪念品商店，外面的大炮阵地附近有一家咖啡摊。
我唯一能想到的是，如果亨利三世作为一个骄傲的英国人看到城堡上空没有飘扬的英国国旗，他会怎么想。
如果你在该地区，圣莫斯城堡非常值得一游。
