St Mawes is a village opposite Falmouth, on the Roseland Peninsula on the south coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It lies on the east bank of the Carrick Roads, a large waterway created after the Ice Age from an ancient valley which flooded as the melt waters caused the sea level to rise dramatically, creating an immense natural harbour, often claimed to be the third largest in the world. It was once a busy fishing port, but the trade declined during the 20th century and it now serves as a popular tourist location, with many properties in the town functioning as holiday accommodation. The town is in the civil parish of St Just in Roseland.
A year-round ferry provides a service to Falmouth, which is less than a mile away by boat, but due to its proximity to the Fal estuary it is some 30 miles (48 km) away by road. The Place Ferry links the South West Coast Path and operates from Good Friday to the end of October.
St Mawes was once an important town and was made a borough in 1563, returning two members to parliament. It was disfranchised in 1832. St Mawes Castle is a well-preserved coastal fortress from the time of Henry VIII, built to counter the invasion threat from the Continent. Charles Henderson, writing in 1925, says of St Mawes, an ancient fishing town which in late years has assumed the different and more sophisticated character of a watering place. The seal of St Mawes was Az. a bend lozengy Or between a tower in the sinister chief Arg. and a ship with three masts the sail furled in the dexter base of the second, with the legend Commune Sigillum Burgi de St. Mawes al Mauditt.
St Mawes lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park. As well as this St Mawes is considered to be home to one of the oldest small Cornish bakeries in the county of Cornwall. The St Mawes bakery is estimated to have been founded in 1912 by the Curtis family (the current owners) making it 100 years old in 2012. Although the bakeries premises is probably much older (going back to the 1800s).

Views of the beautiful rivers of Cornwall
Whether it's a quiet riverside walk you're after or something a bit more challenging, like paddle-boarding, kayaking or angling, a day exploring Cornwall's rivers, is a great way to make the most of the diversity of the landscape.
In this film, staff at the Westcountry Rivers Trust celebrate their 20th anniversary by taking you on a whistle-stop tour to show you what they love so much about Cornwall's rivers.
They took us fly fishing for brown trout on the De Lank River, an idyllic moorland stream up on Bodmin Moor that feeds the River Camel: buy angling tokens via the Westcountry Angling Passport scheme. Then there was dragonfly spotting in the Red River Valley Nature Reserve, an area with a rich mining history where nature is flourishing once again.
They also take you kayaking from the historic town of Lostwithiel, downstream into the iconic Fowey estuary (stick to deep water, so you don't damage delicate river habitats).
Last stop was stand-up paddle boarding in the crystal clear, aquamarine waters of the River Gannel at Crantock where the freshwater of the river mixes and mingles with the salt water of the sea.
The Rivers of Cornwall was produced by Visit Cornwall in partnership with the Westcountry Rivers Trust.
