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.

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.

Short walk from readymoney cove,.Worth going just for the views of Fowey and out to sea.A place full of history, not very big but worth the effort.

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.

Only a 3 because there is basically nothing to see of the castle itself, not much information about to read, and although what is left is nice, the castle is uplifted tremendously by the walk up to it (if you care for that) and the view from the castle. The car park is a 10 minute walk up the road (anybody saying there isn't a car park is an idiot). Me and my partner took the shorter route by the beach, walked past the wall and up the stairs, although it was quite steep - careful as this way can be blocked by the tide depending on the day, but there is the proper route to take.

A short, but steep, walk up from Readymoney beach. Worth a look if you are on the beach for the day or doing a coastal path walk. Nice views overlooking the bay, it’s very small as far as castles go.

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.
