A must see when on holiday in falmouth. Amazing value for money. Please when your there do the half moon tour, seargent Steve led our tour he was knowlegable and entertaining. You definitely loose your sense of time here. A great day out with a nice tea room and an wonderful gift shop selling clotted cream gin. Definitely get the recommendation on how to serve it. Thank you to all those volunteers who made our day enjoyable

Fantastic day at Pendennis Castle. Sergeant Steve gave an excellent guided trip around the Half Moon Battery. He was dressed in authentic WW2 uniform and was very informative about the history of the castle.

Really enjoyed our visit to Pendennis Castle, fantastic views over Carrick Roads, Falmouth bay & Falmouth itself. Went on two volunteer led tours which were very good & brought the history of the place to life. One was of the castle keep which explained that Henry 8th built the place as a strategic cannon gun emplacement & the other led by the brilliant 'Corporal Tim' was of the half moon battery. Only a few information boards so make sure you go on one of the tours to make the most of your visit. It's on a headland so be prepared for wind & its not a fairytale castle more of a strategic military base.

Very lucky to go on a day they fired their WWII guns and then “Sergeant Steve”gave an excellent and fascinating talk about the Half moon gun emplacement. He brought the whole thing alive and we learnt so much more than we would have done without the talk. The day flew by. We don’t usually like guided tours or talks but this is the second English Heritage talk we have been to and they have both been excellent.

Commanding position high on a promontory gives wonderful views all round. We took a free guided tour of the Tudor keep, which was excellent - engaging & lots of data without being stuffy. Unfortunately the volunteer who does the WWII gun emplacements was ill that day & I think that would have brought it more to life. It must be good on a jousting day too. Fair amount of walking, so sensible flat shoes a must, especially with the narrow spiral staircases in the keep.

We were visiting Cornwall on a small break and decided to give the castle a visit. We really enjoyed the guided tour around the Second World War artillery guns. The guide was very appropriately dressed for the occasion and gave us a great explanation of what happened in order to fire the guns. Lovely pasties with an equally impressive view of Falmouth. Would definitely visit again. 👍

Excellent tour of Half Moon Battery - thank you Sergeant Steve. Learnt so much more about life at Pendennis than would have just walking around & reading the boards. Amazing setting & so much history

Really interesting place to visit, in a great setting with views over the Falmouth estuary. The visit was made special by a tour of the WW2 Half-moon bunker. Sgt Steve was an excellent guide, very informative and extremely entertaining. You need more volunteers like him! I hope they get the recognition they deserve. Only draw back to the day was that filming was being carried out (exciting to see) which meant the restaurant was extra busy, so a long wait for food as they had to feed cast and crew as well as the public

We really enjoyed our visit. Very interesting and informative. The views are magnificent, especially from the top of the castle. Dog friendly everywhere. The staff were all lovely, friendly and helpful. The cake in the cafe was delicious. We enjoyed our visit so much we have taken membership with English Heritage.

Brilliant day out at Pendennis Castle. There is so much history to see in lovely open surroundings with views across the estuary to St Mawes and beyond. The battery tour conducted by "Sgt Steve" was excellent, informative and amusing a highlight of our trip.
