We take a detailed look at what’s on offer to the tourist at Pendennis Castle in Falmouth. It is owned by English Heritage, and is a popular tourist attraction in Cornwall with over 70,000 visitors a year. Using Tripadvisor and Google reviews, we set out to discover if this is a great day out, or disappointing and overpriced.
The Castle was built in the reign of King Henry VIII as part of a National building programme of coastal artillery forts in response to the threat of invasion by French and Spanish forces. During the next 500 years, different enemies were identified and the defences modernised and expanded which means there is a lot to explore on site.
Currently, the attraction is scoring a very respectable 4.5 stars out of 5 on Trip Advisor and all appears great, but how did we get on when we visited? How will we score our day out?
Join us as we take a look around the Castle, explore the other military exhibits on site, and review a Cornish Cream Tea at the Cafe. And stick around because we show you a great money saving tip to visit all of English Heritage sites in Cornwall at a fraction of the usual cost.
The Trip Advisor comments and Google reviews have been taken at face value, and have not been verified.
We hope you enjoy watching Sarah & Andrew
The standard description bit…
We are Sarah and Andrew and we film our walks around Cornwall and publish on RU-vid, usually weekly. Sometimes we stay in accommodation in Cornwall and upload our vlog. Sarah is fascinated by sea glass and likes to collect it so there may be the occasional sea glass video too. The channel is a hobby and we both have normal day jobs!
Unfortunately we cannot answer comments coming in more than a week after the publishing date of the video.
Frequently asked questions:
Do we do meet ups?
We regularly receive requests to meet up from viewers and subscribers, but unfortunately we do not have availability to be able to do this.
The channel is a very time consuming hobby, fitted around our employment and family commitments. Setting aside time for meet ups, means that we are not able to film and edit our weekly videos that you love to watch.
If you happen to bump into us while out and about, we will be more than happy to have a quick chat!

What camera do we use?
Since December 2018 we have used: Canon Powershot G7x MkII
How do I find the books you use?
Most are still in print although some we pick up in charity shops and may be available on Amazon secondhand. Please refer to the video for the book titles. Every video shows the book three times. Sorry but we can’t put a link in every description.
Best time of year to visit Cornwall?
We love May, June for flora and fauna, July and September for spectacular scenery.
What is your dog’s name?
Sorry but we do not release the name of our dog, perhaps you can make up your own name for him.
