Pendennis Castle

Pendennis Castle
Pendennis Castle is an artillery fort constructed by Henry VIII near Falmouth, Cornwall, England between 1540 and 1542. It formed part of the King's Device programme to protect against invasion from France and the Holy Roman Empire, and defended the Carrick Roads waterway at the mouth of the River Fal. - see PiP!

It doesn't look as impressive as some of the other English castles, but it certainly looks sturdy and impregnable!

A super shot Berny.......I like the low perspective and the bits of the old Battery in the foreground.

Ist da in einem der Nebengebäude immer noch die Jugendherberge? Fand ich damals imposant, beim Castle zu übernachten, aber auch etwas kalt und zugig;-)

Weiß ich leider nicht, wir waren wieder mal zu einem Zeitpunkt dort (zu früh), wo gerade mal das Haupttor offen war......

It seems Henry VIII was very much into building fortresses such as this. The foreground circle is presumably from a later defensive piece.

An inspiring historical place for the current viewers; probably the people lived through those ages, who knows -- they could have seen a war any moment!?
