St Mawes is a village situated on the Roseland Peninsula in South Cornwall. It lies on the eastern side of the Carrick Roads, a large estuary that forms part of the River Fal. The village is known for its harbour, which plays an integral role in its maritime activities. St Mawes is positioned near the entrance to the Fal Estuary, with the town of Falmouth located across the water. The village is also home to St Mawes Castle, a well-preserved artillery fort constructed by Henry VIII.
