St Mawes Castle, in fact. Built (together with Pendennis Castle on the other side of the Carrick Roads - which is actually an inlet of the Channel) by Henry VII. It was a Royalist stronghold in the Civil War, but was taken quite easily by Cromwell (cough, spit) because its guns could not be traversed far enough to repel a landward attacker. (Presumably, Henry VII expected only to be attacked by foreigners.)

Did you take the new King Harry ferry?

I don't remember the name of the boat we took, but if it helps, it left from the Prince of Wales dock, it was about 25 feet long and had a small stuffed rabbit toy tied to the top.
