"It's been off-limits for many years to everyone except film crews, but since spring 2017 Charlestown's historic port has reopened to the public. You can now wander round the Georgian quays, and with a bit of luck, step on board a tall ship docked alongside the harbour, the Kasjamoor, built in 1939. It's worth ringing ahead to doublecheck the port is open, as it's sometimes closed for filming.Joint tickets with the Charlestown Shipwreck & Heritage Centre are available."

Guide: Top Five Falmouth Attractions | St Michaels Resort
"Breathe in the sea air and stroll along the seafront towards the unmissable sight of Pendennis Castle perched on its headland. Built over 450 years ago by Henry VIII to defend the country against invasion, this mighty fortress sits opposite its sister castle in St Mawes to make a powerful defence for the entrance to Falmouth harbour. The castle has seen action in many conflicts and was one of the last royalist strongholds to fall during the English Civil War."
Mentioned by Chelsea House
Activities
"This historic castle was built by Henry VIII and is only a five minute walk from our doorstep. Cross over the bridge over the moat and enter into another era. Explore the circular stone keep, the barracks and the panoramic views of the coast from the castle roof."
