The Capital, Castle and Country House

Join a Cornish blue badge guide for a day of exploring some of mid Cornwall’s historical highlights.

Starting in the former Capital of Cornwall, Lostwithiel, we will explore the quaint streets of this stannary town, which is now an antique collector’s paradise, with many antique shops hidden within the small alleyways.

Heading to Restormel Castle we will then explore one of the most astonishing castles of Britain which affords the visitor breath-taking views across the Fowey valley.

After a local lunch, we will fast-forward a few centuries to discover the magnificent late Victorian country house of Lanhydrock. With plenty of free time incorporated, there will be time to enjoy a traditional cream tea or a gentle stroll around some gardens as well as learning all about the history of this impressive estate.
