Described as one of the prettiest in England, this church sits proudly on the waters edge amongst sub-tropical trees and shrubs.
Reviewed By 324CarolineS324 - East Sussex, United Kingdom
The churchyard described as ‘the most beautiful in the world’ is just that. A palm filled tropical woodland with green moss and fern it winds down the hill of tiered graves of beautiful calligraphy and Celtic crosses. Wirth taking time to meander through. At the bottom is this small picturesque church steeped in history on the waters edge . So atmospheric and peaceful it was a truly magical setting that made you want to linger soaking in every bit . Truly memorable and a joy to see. Then head on up the slope for a slap up cream tea at Mrs T’s at the top. PERFECT afternoon!

There is a little car parking area at the end of the road just past St Clement church. Start from here and walk through the wodds alongside the estuary. Nice seat half way round, ideal coffee stop! When you reach the little stream turn right up the hill to return. (Or for a longer alternative turn left to Malpas village where you could visit The Heron for lunch before retracing your steps.

Take the free audio tour to discover life at the castle during the Civil War and explore the castle and grounds with its stunning views out to sea. Child friendly and dog friendly.
Reviewed By 762jeffreyg - London, United Kingdom
Set just outside St Mawes this castle built on behalf of Henry VIII was intended to stop invaders and pirates from invading the upper reaches of the river estuary. Later the French and then Germans were the main threat and so this castle and Pendennis Castle on the other side of the Estuary controlled these waters with their artillery for many years. There are many steps and the castle is structured over a number of layers to provide gun platforms for controlling that side of estuary. Lots of hand rails and safety guards. Excellent toilet facilities and shop run by English Heritage. Lots of benches for sitting and admiring the views and ideal for picnics.
