St Mawes, Cornwall
When you drive into St Mawes you can almost smell the money! Several years ago it was reported that St Mawes had more millionaires per head of population than anywhere else in England. Whether or not that is still true I don't know, but it certainly retains an upmarket feel with several outstanding hotels and many beautiful houses and gardens.
St Mawes sits in a sheltered bay on Cornwall's beautiful Roseland Peninsula, opposite the town of Falmouth which is on the western side of the Carrick Roads. A regular ferry across the river estuary links the two towns. The harbour at St Mawes is just left of centre in the picture.
