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.[citation needed] 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.

St Mawes Castle was built between 1539 and 1545, half way down the hillside on the eastern shore of the River Fal estuary to provide protection to the large inland expanse of water known as the Carrick Roads, near Falmouth (which is the third largest natural harbour in the world). St Mawes was constructed with a central tower overlooking three huge circular bastions attached on the sides in a clover leaf pattern, providing a wide area for gun placements, with gun ports covering every angle of approach to the estuary.

St Mawes castle, administered by English Heritage, is situated on one side of the natural inlet of Carrick Roads, near Falmouth. Its opposite number on the other side of the inlet is Pendennis castle. ST Mawes is one of the best preserved of Henry VIII's coastal artillery fortresses and was built in the early 1540s It consists of a central tower and three large circular bastions that provided a wide area for gun emplacements. It was occupied by the royalists during the civil war but could not be defended from a land attack. The garrison surrendered to parliament in 1646. A lower gun battery was added during the Napoleonic wars and the fortress was still in use, with modernisations, during the second world war

A small but simply stunning garden, it ranks highly in our ‘small is beautiful’ collection, and featured in the Nation’s Favourite Gardens broadcast by the BBC in 2002. Inspired by travels abroad, this horticultural hotspot hosts an extensive collection of sub-tropical species set amongst tranquil water gardens. When Robert Dudley-Cooke moved to Lamorran House from Surrey in 1982, he brought with him many types of rhododendrons and evergreen azaleas. Now you can find over 500 varieties of azaleas bursting into bloom as a result of his initial efforts. As he set about re-creating the gardens of his new residence, the first major development was the Japanese garden with a grotto and waterfall. Then the lower garden was transformed into a Mediterranean-style garden with innovative terrace-plantings in the style of the great gardens of the Italian Riviera. A small temple sits above a wall of bougainvillea and from the succulent bank sprouts agaves and lampranthus. A small Venetian styled bridge from which the visitor has a view out to sea leaning over a balustrade. Standing in this area it is difficult to believe you are on the British mainland with massed plantings of organge gazaniasand arctotis. Wander through various types of acacias, hundreds of palms – 32 different species – and tree ferns – cyatheas and dicksonias – and experience a distinctly tropical atmosphere as you tread beneath the lush jungle-like canopies. This is a fantastic garden for strolling and relaxing, or for keen garden-enthusiasts to nose into the techniques of the acclimatisation of exotics in the Cornish climate. Whatever your intent, Lamorran is a continually developing horticultural corner and makes a fascinating and unique day out for all garden lovers.

As we arrive there, the ancient boats thunder around the Cornish waters at St Mawes, as they hosts one of the colourful Falmouth Working Boat Races.
The Falmouth Estuary has long been a traditional centre for these events with each community along the waterfront The Falmouth Working boat fleets still race and have done so for over 100 years.
Between the quiet yet imposing forts of Pendennis and St Mawes lie the glistening waters of the Fal Estuary.
It is one of the best all-round sailing and safe cruising grounds in the world.
One of St Mawes' annual highlights is the Falmouth Working Boat World Championships hosted by the village.
It sees the estuary erupting in a whirl of coloured topsails as these boats, the wooden working boats from the 1870/80s, many of them antique, battle it out to be the best in their fleet.
The working boats themselves are something of a legend around the Fal Estuary.
A bylaw of the Fal oyster fishery - that fishing may only be done while rowing or sailing (usually under full sail, no engines!) - is largely responsible for the preservation of the fleet.
It was pure magic to see them cut through the water.
Have a lovely day and thank you, as always, M, (*_*)
