EDITORS COMMENTS
St. Catherines Castle, Cornwall: A Historic Tudor Fortification Overlooking Fowey Harbour This awe-inspiring aerial view captures the majesty and historical significance of St. Catherines Castle, a Tudor fortification nestled along the rugged Cornish coast. Built in the 1530s by King Henry VIII, this defensive structure was designed to safeguard Fowey Harbour against potential threats. The castle, a pair with its sister fortification, Polruan Castle, is a testament to the rich military history of England during the Tudor period. Consisting of two storeys, St. Catherines Castle boasts gun ports at ground level, which once housed the powerful artillery that protected the harbour from invading forces. Perched atop a cliff, the castle's strategic location provided unobstructed views of the harbour and the surrounding waters, allowing its defenders to respond effectively to any potential threats. The castle's unique design and imposing presence have made it a beloved landmark and a popular tourist attraction in the region. As you gaze upon this image, take a moment to appreciate the engineering prowess and historical importance of St. Catherines Castle. Its enduring presence serves as a reminder of the rich history and culture that has shaped the Cornish coast and the United Kingdom as a whole. This stunning aerial photograph, captured by Damian Grady for Historic England, offers a unique perspective of this historic fortification and invites us to explore the stories and secrets that lie within its walls.
