Pendennis Castle is one of the most impressive of the remaining Tudor forts, originally built by the dozens to protect King Henry VIII. Sitting atop a massive hill, the site showcases a panoramic view of the sea. An onsite gunroom, restored barracks, and castle tunnels give you a first-hand idea of life in military in the 1500s. On-site cafes offer coffee service, which you may enjoy in the manicured courtyards. Professional and self-guided tours lead you through acres of walking grounds. Be sure to check the local weather before leaving for the day. The area has a reputation for storms sweeping in from the sea.

Interesting place with a lot of history displayed in an engaging way. Especially we'll set up for children with excellent interactive lessons and displays. Fantastic views of the sea and surrounding countryside on a good day too!

Well preserved. Lots of history for World War I. Great views of the bay. The food at the cafe was good too.
