Restormel Castle
Tiny castle in the middle of a meadow. In fact - much information is not known about the castle. This is a wonderful place for a picnic and relaxation. Restormel Castle is under the English Heritage and entrance fee is £4.30.

Lostwithiel - ancient stannary town
Lostwithiel has a rich heritage. Founded by the Norman lords who built the original Restormel Castle, it was developed to become a major port for seagoing ships, exporting tin to Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean. The castle was rebuilt in the late 13th century by Edmund, Earl of Cornwall, who was also responsible for building the Great Hall, the bridge and the square church tower which can all be seen today. Edmund was very proud of his beautiful, thriving little town and called it his 'Lily of the Valley' and 'Fairest of Small Cities'. Visit

Lostwithiel is a civil parish and small town in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom at the head of the estuary of the River Fowey. The name Lostwithiel comes from the Cornish lostwydhyel which means tail of a wooded area.
The origin of the name Lostwithiel is a subject much debated. In the 16th century it was thought that the name came from the Roman name Uzella, translated as Les Uchel in Cornish. In the 17th century popular opinion was that the name came from a translation of Lost (a tail) and Withiel (a lion), the lion in question being the lord who lived in the castle.
Lostwithiel is an historic borough. The Lostwithiel constituency elected two members to the Unreformed House of Commons, but was disenfranchised by the Reform Act 1832. It remained a municipal borough until the 1960s, when it became a civil parish.
The seal of the borough of Lostwithiel was a shield charged with a castle rising from water between two thistles, in the water two fish, with the legend Sigillum burgi de Lostwithyel et Penknight in Cornubia. Its mayoral regalia includes a silver oar, signifying its former jurisdiction over the River Fowey.
Lostwithiel railway station is on the Cornish Main Line from Plymouth to Penzance. It is situated on the south side of the town, just across the medieval bridge. The line was originally built for the Cornwall Railway which built its main workshops here, but the surviving workshop buildings were transformed into apartments in 2004. A branch line takes china clay trains to Fowey.
Lostwithiel's most notable buildings are St Bartholomew's Church and Restormel Castle. There is a small museum devoted to the history of the town. Once a stannary town, and for a period the most important in Cornwall, it is now much reduced in importance. There is a fine early fourteenth-century bridge with five pointed arches, and nearby the remains of the Lostwithiel Stannary Palace, with its Coinage Hall – this was the centre of royal authority over tin-mining, and 'coinage' meant the knocking off of the corner of each block of tin for the benefit of the Duchy of Cornwall. The small Guildhall has an arcaded ground floor. The old Grammar School has been converted into dwellings.

Short video of Llawhaden Castle. Apologies that I could not show you the whole castle, there are some very interesting areas which are not accessible on foot. Unfortunately CADW (Welsh Gov) require prior permission via application form, and fees. Hopefully this might change sometime in the future.

A quick look round Restormel castle. I filmed this as quickly as I could as my batteries were running out.
I would have put music over this, but I have no idea how to.
