Pendennis Castle

Pendennis CastlePendennis Castle crowns a headland a mile east of Falmouth.
The name suggests a Dark Age hillfort but any remains are buried beneath the later rampart.
What now stands is an Elizabethan artillery fortress surrounding one of Henry VIII’s coastal forts.
Erected in 1540-45, when the Reformation had made England a target for invasion, the castle protected the entrance to Carrick Roades, the large inlet pf the sea which could have offered a sheltered landing place to the fleet of the Catholic powers.
St.
Mawes Castle was placed on the opposite shore and the guns of the two forts commanded the mile-long sheet of water between them.
Pendennis is unusual among the Henrician coastal forts in having such an elevated position.
On the rocks below is a semi-circular blockhouse which would have been of value in repelling ships invisible from the castle.
As originally conceived Pendennis was one of the smaller coastal forts, just a squat round tower with gun ports at all three levels.

Conflicts with the CoachIt is almost a guarantee that at some point during the gymnastics career someone will think that their coach is being difficult, unfair or down right mean.
