Roseland Peninsula
Rural landscape; uncrowded bays
The Roseland Peninsula is the crab claw-shaped strip of land between the Fal Estuary and the English Channel. A rural landscape edged by quiet beaches, it has a tucked-away feel.
The chic yachting village of St Mawes is one of Roseland’s most high profile spots. It’s worth visiting to see 16th century St Mawes Castle, beaches and an appealing harbour. A memorable way to arrive is by passenger ferry from Falmouth.
Just over 2 miles north of St Mawes, you’ll find creek-side St Just in Roseland, a tranquil 13th century church with lush gardens and its own Holy Well.
