Punishment in the Tower — St Mawes Castle tour
Step inside St Mawes Castle this September for a guided tour that goes beyond the usual history — this one focuses on the harsher side of life within these thick Tudor walls, exploring what happened to prisoners and soldiers who fell foul of the rules. Led by knowledgeable guides, the tour uncovers stories of punishment and confinement that rarely make it into the standard visitor trail, giving a more complete picture of the castle's past. Entry is free, making it an easy afternoon out for anyone curious about Cornwall's coastal defences and the people who lived — and suffered — inside them.
