A typical white Cornish house in the harbour town of St. Mawes on the east side of the Falmouth estuary.
St Mawes Castle (Cornish: Kastel Lannvowsedh) and its larger sister castle, Pendennis, were built as part of a defensive chain of fortresses by Henry VIII to protect the south coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.
St Mawes is a small town opposite Falmouth, on the Roseland Peninsula on the south coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It lies on the east bank of the Carrick Roads, a large waterway created after the Ice Age from an ancient valley which flooded as the melt waters caused the sea level to rise dramatically, creating an immense natural harbour, often claimed to be the third largest in the world. It was once a busy fishing port, but the trade declined during the 20th century and it now serves as a popular tourist location, with many properties in the town functioning as holiday accommodation. The town is in the civil parish of St Just in Roseland.
A year-round ferry provides a service to Falmouth, which is less than a mile away by boat, but due to its proximity to the Fal estuary it is some 30 miles (48 km) away by road.

January and most of February have been a barren photographic patch for me. I took a work bullet and didn't get out much. However, just been on holiday down to Cornwall for half term with the family, so am brimming with snaps to share.
This is St Mawes Castle, an exquisitely preserved 480 year old castle. It sits across the mouth of the Falmouth estuary from Pendennis castle. Together they formed part of King Henry VIII's coastal defences, protecting one of the UK's largest natural harbours.
It is a delightful clover leaf shape, which although designed for heavy ship-sinking cannons, makes it ideally suited to the amateur snapper with a fisheye.
