Falmouth Pendennis Point, Cornwall

Located in Falmouth, Cornwall, South West England, England
Pendennis Point is a finger of land that juts out into the northern section of Falmouth Bay. Within Falmouth, the point is home to Pendennis Castle which was built along with St Mawes Castle to protect Carrick Roads from invasion. Today, Pendennis Point is known for its huge views of this area of Cornwall
To visit, we'd recommend walking in on the South West Coast Path. If time is pressing, there's a large car park at the end of the point. This is clearly visible on satellite mapping. We've positioned Pendennis Point on Google maps so zoom in on the 'Satellite' setting to see its exact location. Refer to the Ordnance Survey Explorer 105 'Falmouth & Mevagissey' map as well
The views. Looking north, you'll see Carrick Roads. To the north east are St Mawes Castle and St. Mawes. To the east is St Anthony Head Lighthouse. Looking south, you'll normally see large ships such as tankers and cruise liners out at sea. To the south west are The Lizard Peninsula and the mouth of Helford River and Estuary. West of Pendennis Point are Falmouth's beaches such as Falmouth Swanpool Beach and Falmouth Gyllyngvase Beach. Last, to the north west is Pendennis Castle
