An interesting castle visit, some great views, but a pity there is no audio guide as promised on the website.
St. Mawes Castle的点评
点评:St Mawes castle is located at the end on a peninsula reached by twisting and at times narrow rural roads. There is a small car park located near to the entrance to the castle. The car park is free to English Heritage members. There is a relief car park but there was plenty of room during our visit.
Entry to the castle is via the old gatehouse which doubles as reception and a small shop. Drinks and snacks can be obtained from the shop but there is no café on what is a relatively small site.
From the gatehouse visitors make their way over a bridge to the castle tower. There are a number of floors in the tower and visitors can access the roof which grants some good views of Pendennis Castle across the water at Falmouth, of St. Mawes village, and St Anthony Lighthouse, which was a feature on the children's television programme Fraggle Rock.
Entry to the castle involves steep slopes and steps, there are numerous steps to negotiate in the castle and much of the grounds is grassed and also involves steep slopes. There is plenty of seating available throughout the grounds.
The English Hertitage website states that an audio guide is available and suitable for both adults and children. Unfortunately that is not the case as no audio guide is available which is a shame. Information is available within the castle and it is laid out so as to demonstrate both the defensive capabilities and living conditions within the castle.
In the grounds near the entrance is a toilet block including a toilet designed for use by disabled visitors. Baby change facilities can be found in both male and female toilets.

进入城堡需要经过旧门楼,该门楼兼作接待处和一家小商店。商店提供饮料和小吃,但相对较小的场地上没有咖啡馆。
游客从门楼经过一座桥到达城堡塔楼。塔楼有几层,游客可以进入屋顶,从那里可以看到法尔茅斯水对面的彭丹尼斯城堡、圣莫斯村和圣安东尼灯塔的美景,后者曾是儿童电视节目《Fraggle Rock》的特色。
进入城堡需要经过陡坡和台阶,城堡内有许多台阶需要爬,大部分场地都是草地,也有陡坡。整个场地都有足够的座位。
英国遗产网站称,提供语音导游,适合成人和儿童。不幸的是,事实并非如此,因为没有语音导游,这很遗憾。城堡内提供信息,并且布局合理,以展示城堡内的防御能力和生活条件。
入口附近的场地上有一个厕所区,其中包括一个专为残疾游客设计的厕所。男厕所和女厕所都设有婴儿更衣设施。
