Journey through 450 years of history at Pendennis from Tudor times to World War II and discover the wartime secrets of Pendennis Castle.
Go back in time, explore the hands-on Discovery Centre, see a Tudor gun deck in action and experience the sights and sounds of battle. Find out what it was like to be a garrison soldier at the turn of the last century.
In the World War II Observation Post you'll feel the thrill as the alert sounds, warning of an enemy attack.
Then descend through underground passages to the big guns of Half Moon battery and take a guided tour of the underground magazines.
Explore, experience and get to grips with hands-on history or just relax and enjoy the scenery. In a superb coastal setting, Pendennis offers magnificent views of Falmouth and the estuary.
