About Restormel Castle

Built around 1300, once home to Edward, the Black Prince, the great circular shell-keep survives in good condition and is the best example of a shell keep in the country. The castle saw action during the civil war when the Parliamentarians garrisoned the Keep. It was later captured in 1644
