My first outing whilst here, has been to Pendennis Castle. It is an old castle built on the rocky outcropping at the entrance to the Falmouth Docks and Harbour. It was built by Henry the 8th, as he feared invasion from Europe (ie. the Spanish.) Being a bank holiday there was Jousting and Falconry and several people acting out in costume. I loved the old building, it's views and the colourful tents the jousting crew had on site. I did not like the wind or the extrordinary queue for cream teas.
