I had wanted to stop at the village of Lostwithiel, or Lostwythiel, to see Restormel Castle. I have a couple of old pictures of Restormel Castle and wanted to see how much it had changed. We stopped off at a small village on the way to photograph what might or might not be the remains of an Anglo-Saxon or Celtic cross or marker, but when we got to the castle it was raining, and Clyde decided to wait for me in the car. He hates rain. Me, I padded off on bare and eager feet to explore.
Testormel Castle is now owned by English Heritage.

Perhaps an archer once stood on guard here. In England you must have a “licence to crenellate” to make the wide slits in the walls, as this was once a weapon of mass destruction, as yuo might say, and enabled the owner of [...] [more...]
