    Set on a large natural mound with an unusual keep consisting of a 13th-century round tower inside an earlier shell keep. George Fox, founder of the Quakers, suffered harsh imprisonment here in 1656. Dog friendly and child friendly.

    “The first castle you see in Cornwall”
    Reviewed 22 December 2017

    It's a real focal point in Launceston the town has grown up around it. If you get a chance go on one of the guided walks around the castle and town, we did during the summer and it was well worth while.
