Been a while lovely to return. Loving the blues of the hydrangea. Free use of a tramper is a good addition for those who need assistance. Great day to chill on the beach before the hike back up. The new to us walled garden was worth a visit.

Random visit for us as we had planned other places, very glad we went. It poured with rain the whole time but this made it feel even more special. The plants and walks around are amazing and a kid park for the kids to enjoy. Would 100% recommend to all.

Wow what an amazing garden! It's got so many fascinating plants and all grown with so much vigor! The garden is in a valley so you walk down one side and walk back up the other. The paths are well maintained but there's a lot of walking up slopes. Lovely icecream shop by the beach.

We went with a coach party and parking wasn't a problem. The garden reminded me of the Gardens of Heligan but on a smaller scale and with less diversity of plants. The planting includes lots of bamboo, hydrangeas and tree ferns. The paths wind their way down to the beach where there is a cafe with outside tables. You can do a circular walk to return to the car park. There is a shop, cafe, toilets and small plant centre before the exit.

My wife and I loved this ravine garden... Excellent parking, very modern visitor centre with toilets, cafe and customer seating..helpful staff for regular and first time visitors...shop for gifts and plants. Very clear map of paths leading down to the beach with hard standing area, picnic benches and (on our visit) the option of tea coffee ice cream and snacks... wonderful views across the Helford estuary.

Absolutely beautiful gardens, we visited beginning of July 2025. Can choose between easy or more hilly walk around the grounds. We took our dog who also loved it. You can take your dog into the cafe which is great. Highly recommend a visit.

Great gardens to walk around, even the rainy weather didn't spoil it. Some steep pathways so bear that in mind if you have mobility issues. A great way to spend a few hours.

Tickets quite expensive but they do last for a whole year which makes up for the price :) an option for a cheap day ticket would be LOVELY. Best section of the area was seeing all the surf boards and learning about some of the locals and their cool, interesting history. The remote control boats were super unique with it only being controlled by using the sails and ‘wind’. Gets properly crowded on a rainy day.

Modern museum in a lovely marina setting. It was a bit pricey at £18.50 for an adult. There was a great surfing exhibition on. Lots of interesting facts associated with the famous exhibits there. It looked a popular place for mothers with young children as there is a play area. There is also an inside pond for playing with radio controlled boats. Also they have a decent cafe and shop. There is a car park nearby with shops and cafes.

They have a great exhibition of 100 years of surfing across Cornwall but also the world with big names in local sustainability such as James Otter of Otter Surfboards and David Forsyth from Driftwood Surfboards both great places to buy boards from! Really interesting and interactive exhibit with a 37ft surfboard weighing in at 181kg where it had 14 people able to ride it in the past and everything else in between! Definitely worth a visit just for this alone but the rest of the museum was amazing too!

Really enjoyed looking around at all the boats, surf boards and the history of the surf competitions. Unfortunatly the tide was out so we didnt see the fish in the lower levels. This didnt detract feom the experience. Also some amazing view.

What a great enjoyable place great for all the family lots of history easy to get to and fantastic veiws of the harbour

Great museum to visit , surfing exhibition great , plus all other exhibits , and view from tower

Lovely day out with the children, ages 5 -14 , all of them enjoyed it. Went during the pirate exhibition in the summer holidays, very thorough and interesting, they also had a pantomime on hourly for the children which was well thought out and engaging, children loved it. Went down to tide 2 in the tower and enjoyed looking out to underwater and seeing the tide in the harbour.

The parking signs for the disabled parking are ambiguous and incorrect,so it's not very clear. Friendly staff and great afternoon spent looking round Penndennis Castle and grounds. Whilst looking around the fun room within the main part of the castle we were approached by Don,one of the English Heritage staff who could see that our disabled daughter was enjoying reading the information in each room. He approached me and asked if we wanted an explanation and tour of the castle, which we agreed. He was fabulous taking time to explain what each room was for and pitching it at a level that our daughter could understand and relate to. He checked in after each room to ensure she had understood the information.He was interesting and very informative and especially kind and compassionate with our daughter as he took time and effort to ensure she took something from the experience. I asked if he had any experience with Additional needs as he was so good with our daughter, he hadn't I'm particular but had experience of working with young people. Don was definitely an asset to English Heritage and made our trip informative and memorable. The grounds and views were amazing and we felt very much connected to that part of history from his storytelling. The station the teashop were also good and cakes delicious.. All staff were friendly and great,I'd it hadn't of been for the confusion over the signage for disabled parking I would have given this a 5 star review. Definitely worth a visit.

Chose a sunny day and you'll be rewarded with stunning views over to St Mawes and Falmouth. The Military history spans the moments of crisis in British history; 16th century, the Nepoleonic wars and WW1/ 2. Superb info boards and exemplary English Hetitage staff dealing with an unexpected group of cruise ship visitors. Coffee in cafe to finish was just as good!

Absolutely loved our trip to Pendennis Castle. History with beautiful view's. A must for families & History buffs. Great cafe with friendly service and an amazing gift shop within something for everyone.

Interesting historical buildings, with plenty of information available. Easy to find, and onsite parking. It really only takes an hour to walk around the whole site, so it's a pleasant break from driving if you're passing through the area.

We went for the jousting tournament, which was brilliant, but there was a huge range of entertainment which was suitable for all ages and it was all included in the price. We also visited the castle and museum. There’s a lovely cafe, but the food and drink is expensive. There was plenty of car parking.

Lots of history around this castle and World War Two! It’s dog friendly and they are also allowed in the castle. We went in for free as we had an English Heritage membership - definitely worth doing.

Great for all age groups and all mobilities with parking for the less mobile inside the castle grounds. Well maintained grounds with Taskmaster activities for children. Lots of canons to look at and imagine them in use in the English Civil war. The map in the guide book is a bit misleading in that it appears that the site is three times bigger than it actually is which was a good thing as my friend and I have mobility issues and we managed to walk the site easily. There were exhibitions on and the Keep was open but due to time restraints we were unable to see these. It has a large shop with a great collection of souvenirs of all kinds. The tea room looks to have a nice menu

Lovely walk through an exotic woodland downhill to a tiny fishing village (some of which is now holiday cottages) and stony beach with beautiful views over river estuary. Energetic walk back uphill via the maze halfway which was great fun . There were some flowers but I went at wrong time of year for them but thoroughly enjoyed the gardens nevertheless. Refreshments and toilets at top and bottom of path.

Excellent! Beautiful gardens. The cafe is great too. The maze is a real highlight and so much fun! Harder than it looks! We walked down to the beach from the garden and it was really lovely! I did find the second hand bookshop a little more over priced than usual.Highly recommend!

Wow, what an a great garden, there's a lot to see. If you have limited mobility then be warned that most of the garden is on a slope so there's a lot of walking up and down hill. There's some fabulous and different plants here, all of which are well cared for. You can walk down to the beach which is a lovely place to chill. The maze is fantastic fun and challenging being on a slope. Don't miss the massive tulip tree as you walk in which is incredible! There's a lovely cafe selling tasty cakes and drinks, some of which are traditional to Cornwall.

Lovely relaxing atmosphere, dogs allowed on lead except the maze, orchard and schoolhouse which is fine. Great cafe but dogs are outside - website says inside on the left but it doesn’t have any walls so really it’s outside with a canopy. Pebbly beach but still relaxing with an ice-cream hut. Dogs are allowed here too but on a lead. My mum who is 80 managed this walk with a few stops at the benches dotted around the site.

A lovely garden to leisurely wonder around. The plants and trees are very well displayed, with info on some of them.The little village at the bottom of the garden is very quaint with the little beach where you can sit and have a ice cream before you start back up the hill. The grandchildren really enjoyed the maze.The staff were very helpful and friendly. We had a very good day out.

Fun activity for 3-4 hours with the kids. Maze, apple shed and the games nearby (connect4, big jenga blocks etc.) were really fun for the kids. Great walk down to the village near the beach and really tasty local ice cream from there. Finally some jacket potatoes back at the cafe near entrance to top the day.

We returned on Sunday, many years after our last visit. Still as beautiful as we remembered it. We had to take the easier route, as this time we had our grandson in his pushchair with us! Walked down to the village and beach, stopping for an ice-cream. Such a lovely spot. The flowers and trees in the gardens are stunning. We didn't attempt the maze this time, as previously, I remember it took us a long time to find our way out! Had some sandwiches and cake at the top café before our journey home - all delicious. Well worth a visit if you're in the Falmouth area.

Lovely little family friendly beach. Plea ty of parking in June on Saturday.

Very nice shingle beach (tiny stones, not large pebbles) with a slightly more sandy area next to the sea. Carpark opposite, a bit pricey but convenient. Beach side snack bar with plenty to eat and drink to the left (as you face the sea). Restaurant on the low cliff area to the right. Excellent for kayaking and other non power water activities.

Lovely chill beach with parking, cafe and restaurant on the rocks!

A very lovely beach, with a great cafe and good parking. Standard beach for sun soaking or swimming, and lots of rocky parts and coastal paths for the more adventurous and exploratory. Some parts are dog friendly and some are not, so best to check beforehand.

Beautiful beach, not too busy. Dogs restrictions during summer. Nowhere to eat, has toilets near car park. Lovely walk over to next beach, with summer dog restrictions. Unable to find place for food, with dogs. Came across mobile food bar with excellent food and good coffee.

Beautiful beach. Out of all Falmouth beaches, this is my favourite one to swim. It's a clear water beach and is perfect for a family day out. It has a nice cafe. Car park and toilets are across the road.

A lovely small beach that has a surfing school and a cafe by the beach. It’s probably visited by the locals more, but does have people come here from a distance too. It looks like a sandy beach, but it’s actually a pebble beach… so the water is Christal clear… apart from the shallowest point where all the tiny stones are washed onto the beach. Beautiful view at the sea front and also the local area. It also has a big paid car park near by where they also have mini golf there. I loved my visit!
