English Heritage Site
Looked after by English Heritage, this is one of the finest of the mighty fortresses built by Henry VIII to defend the country against invasion.
Set on a headland with breath-taking views of Falmouth, nearby beaches and far out to sea you can look out for sea-faring vessels, a huge range of wildlife, birds and coastal creatures.
The Castle has seen action in many conflicts and was one of the last royalist strongholds to fall during the English Civil War. You can witness a Tudor gundeck in action here and see how the Guardhouse was equipped during the First World War.
This award-winning attraction also boasts an exciting interactive exhibition where you can experience the sights and sounds of battle and relive an enemy attack on a Second World War observation post.
