About Pendennis Castle
Pendennis Castle was built by Henry VIII around 1540 as part of a chain of artillery forts guarding the coast against French and Spanish invasion. It paired with St Mawes Castle to guard the entrance to Falmouth harbor. During the English Civil War it held out as a Royalist stronghold, enduring a siege before its surrender to Parliamentary forces.
