Saint Mawes Castle

können wir aufgrund der vorgerückten Stunde nur noch von außen besichtigen. Hier in Südwestengland schließt alles zwischen 16:30 und 17 Uhr. Da wird einem erst mal wieder deutlich, welch paradiesische Öffnungszeiten Deutschland zu bieten hat.
Die Außenansicht und die Lage waren jedoch alleine schon den Besuch wert. Außerdem treffen wir hier ein britisches Paar, dass uns einen Inn für das Abendessen empfiehlt,Read more

Day 25
St Mawes Church
February 26, 2023 in England ⋅ 🌬 7 °C
The name of the village of St Mawes comes from Saint Maudez, a Breton saint. There was a chapel here dedicated to him. We know it existed in the early 1400s, and it remained in use until the reign of Elizabeth I when it was abandoned. From that time until 1884, there was no chapel for the people of St Mawes.

The new church was opened by the Bishop of Truro Dr George Wilkinson. It was built in the simple Early English style and consists of a chancel, nave, porch, and bell turret. It was built of local stone with facings of St Stephen’s granite.

As I walked around, I was struck by the glorious sunshine streaming in through the simple stained glass windows - beautiful!

St Mawes is in the parish of St. Just in Roseland.Read more

Bus from St. Mawes to Treloan
February 26, 2023 in England
From the church, we caught the bus 🚌 back to the campsite. We sat at the front on the top deck, so we had the best view when we had to wait for a tractor 🚜 rally to pass by! The parade lasted a full five minutes!!Read more

St Mawes to Falmouth ferry
February 27, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 5 °C
On what would have been my Dad's 83rd birthday, we were up early yo catch the 8.59am bus back to St Mawes. We were getting the St Mawes to Falmouth ferry ⛴️ to explore the other side of the water. We had intended to visit the National Trust gardens at Glendurgan and Pendennis Castle 🏰 while we were over there, but found out that both are closed on a Monday!!

Regardless, we decided to go to Falmouth anyway.

It was another bright, sunny 🌞 morning, but rather cold 🥶 out on the water! We were the only passengers on the Duchess of Cornwall ferry, so we're able to move around the boat 🚢 taking photos 📸 during the 25-minute crossing.Read more

St Mawes

One of best trips on Fino with lovely calm seas and sunshine. Eric decides he is going to catch supper so we slow down and drift for a while.
Dolphins 🐬 had more luck catching fish than we did and popped their heads up to say hello but were camera shy!
On arrival a fleet of square riggers were out in the bay-lovely to watch as we settled onto our bouy.
An hour later whi should arrive next door but Neil and Sue - celebrating their 39th Wedding Anniversary so a beer on shore was in order.Read more

St Mawes
February 26, 2023 in England ⋅ 🌬 7 °C
St Mawes is where my Mum and Dad came on their honeymoon in May 1964. They stayed at the Ship and Castle Hotel, which still stands in prime position on the quayside.

We visited the place with them about 20 years ago to recreate a photo taken back in the sixties. We didn't stay long and, if I'm honest, St Mawes didn't make much of an impression on me. This time, despite the cold temperature, the sun was shining and we spent a few hours exploring. I think it's now my new favourite place in Cornwall!!

We enjoyed the number and variety of independent shops and bought some fig and date and some blood orange 🍊 balsamic vinegars. We also went to the castle 🏰 where we joined English Heritage on a '15 months for the price of 12' deal. I climbed the hill to explore the very simple parish church. We admired the seafront properties and imagined a lottery win to be able to afford one! 🤣😂Read more
