St Mawes Castle....

St Mawes Castle was built between 1539 and 1545, half way down the hillside on the eastern shore of the River Fal estuary to provide protection to the large inland expanse of water known as the Carrick Roads, near Falmouth (which is the third largest natural harbor in the world).

 
If you look closely you will see a small door in the center
with a blue jean leg sticking out...that would be Dick

It rained off and on the whole time we were at the castle
We paid it no mind....we were having so much fun discovering

This hearing devise was awesome...

you could go around the castle at your own pace.

The grounds of the castle were beautiful and so well taken care of

 
My new friend...

Fire in the hole!!

Dick really enjoyed every minute of this tour....
he checked out every nook and cranny....

 

These steps were really steep and slick....

The clover leaf design of this castle was amazing thanks to Henry the VIII
The Spanish nor the French attacked

We walked away with a sense of awe
