St Catherine's Castle
Small castle with a hike up from the beach. Site says there is parking nearby, but there's definitely not so don't trust the site.It is a beautiful hike up from the beach and the water is SO clear! Great views and a nice short visit.

A small defence castle built by Henry VIII just off the cliff path above Readymoney beach. A great location overlooking the harbour entrance. There is a history of the castle from the iron age to WW2 located in the shelter on the cliff path behind the castle.

You don't have to pay, just walk all the way up the hill. Stunning landscape views. It's a place to visit

ST Catherine's is a very small, unmanned ruin with absolutely stunning views out across the water.Only a short detour from the coastal path and around a 5 minute walk from the ruin, we came out of the bushes / over grown track and stumbled across a beautiful, calm, sandy cove, with a small cafe and toilets.Lucky enough to visit on such a nice day, seeing the turquoise coloured water and sun beaming down, it really was like a mini paradise.The reason for a 3 star review is because ST Catherine herself isn't that Impressive, a small ruin that is uplifted by the scenery.

St Catherine's Castle is small ruin over looking the river Fowey. Bit of a climb through trees to get to the castle but well worthwhile once you see the stunning view across Fowey and Penruan. The path can be accessed from steps off ready money beach or via a path from road. The path is uneven so sensible footwear is a must. The ruins itself is worth the climb. Fantastic photo opportunity. Can always carry on the walk round onto coastal walk towards next cove.

A beautiful find just from the nearby cove. The views are just simply stunning!A wander around the small but prominent castle is a must if you are nearby.Grab an ice cream en route. Be careful with children and dogs as the drops are very extreme along the path.

Nice little castle overlooking the River fowey. Quite a walk up hill to get to it but worth it for the stunning views. No parking near by, site is completely unmanned and free.

The area and approach is really lovely,. The views in and around the castle are worth the climb. Not easy for pushchairs or people who struggle to walk. The castle is okay, but the position sells it.
