St. Mawes, is a pretty harbourside village that looks out over the River Fal towards the busy maritime town of Falmouth. St. Mawes' sheltered location creates a safe anchorage with easy access to the coast, the Fal and the Carricks Roads - (a large waterway created after the Ice age from an ancient valley which flooded as the melt waters caused the sea level to rise dramatically -creating an immense natural harbour, the world's third largest, which is navigable from Falmouth to Truro).
