Another of the English Heritage castles. PS10-50pp entry which I think is a bit pricey for what you are getting. It's the remains of one of the towers, and that is about it. Realistically you can do it in 20 / 30 minutes at a leisurely pace. On site gift shop selling the usual bits, we did pick up a couple of liquors which might be nice! Lady in the shop was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Just walked through the grounds whilst exploring Launceston. Great views . Nice for a picnic or a dog walk

Lovely friendly staff! Bit too much for me to climb to the top. But good for those with the ability xxx

Full of history, the staff very polite and professional. The castle grounds very clean, the castle ruins in very good condition considering its age and what it's been through. The views from top are amazing more so on a clear day, my visit was on an overcast day.

Came here in the late afternoon for a quick visit. Since we're members entrance was free. Our English Bulldog was welcome on the site as well. The site is very nice and green. Very quiet when we've visited with only a handful of visitors. Surprising. Because even though not the biggest, it is a very interesting and beautiful castle. The big 13th-century round tower was built by Richard, Earl of Cornwall. You can climb up to the top to enjoy the views of the beautiful valley. The castle also served as prison and was also used as the base for the Cornish Royalist defence of the county. A very pleasant visit. Nice history, great surroundings. A small souvenir shop at the entrance as well. We enjoyed it. We parked our car at the nearby Westgate Street Multi-Storey Car Park and Coach Park. Only a few steps away.

Beautiful old castle. Steep steps but amazing views of Launceston. Lots history. Amazing places to visit and eat nearby.
