Restormel Castle

The huge and almost perfectly circular keep of Restormel Castle stands on a high and deeply ditched mound overlooking the river Fowey.  

Restormel was begun in the later 13th century, but reached its greatest splendour under Edward the Black Prince. You can trace the great hall and other buildings the Black Prince used during his two long visits to the castle and its surrounding deer park.  

Climb the steps to stroll round the battlements and take in great views over the countryside. Restormel makes a great picnic spot and an excellent walking base for exploring the Fowey valley.
