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.

Inside the gatehouse you can see right into the inner part of the castle, the inner bailey perhaps it was called.
