St. Mawes Castle


From the Castle car park, you can go down a narrow unmarked path, through the heady perfume of wild garlic blossom, down to the shore. This is the first of the string of small beaches along this headland towards St. Just. From here, you can see where the Carrick Roads open out into Falmouth Bay. A hazy day, with a watery sun; the water laps gently along this shore at high water, even if the winds are prone to fluky gusts. St Anthony's lighthouse visible on the left mournfully sounds its distant horn in the lingering haze and mist.
