Stir up your sense of adventure at English Heritage Pendennis Castle, a coastal fortress with unmissable sea views. Travel back to wartime Cornwall, climb to the top of the keep, and enjoy acres of green space at this historic gem.
Situated on a headland overlooking Falmouth, Pendennis is one of Henry VIII’s finest seaside castles. And despite its peaceful setting, it has a rich and poignant history. The castle has defended Cornwall since Tudor times and played a vital role during the two World Wars.
Winding stone staircases, atmospheric war rooms and action-packed events make it all too easy to imagine life here centuries ago. A Castle Explorers family trail guides you round the fortress.
Don’t miss the daily blast of a historic gun (Apr-Oct), or the chance to grab lunch in the café, with traditional Cornish food as fabulous as the views.
