St Mawes is a picturesque coastal village situated on the scenic Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall, overlooking the Percuil River and St. Anthony's Head, and then across the Carrick Roads towards Falmouth, accessible by ferry from the harbour. Visitors can relax on the village's charming beaches or explore the independent boutiques and gift shops tucked along the waterfront. The local dining offers fresh catches of the day at numerous pubs and restaurants. Visit St Mawes Castle, its famous well-preserved 16th-century artillery fortress, or take a walk along the breath-taking coastal path and its many other beautiful local trails.
