Originally built in the 14th century and turned into a hunting lodge in the 18th, Carn Brea is as astounding castle with a fantastic position. Just south west of Redruth, you can find it perched upon a hill with excellent views of the north Cornwall coastline and the surrounding landscapes.

The grade II-listed castle is still a working building: a restaurant. You can book in for dinner but the castle is simple stunning to see from the outside.

Carn Brea Castle dates back to the 14th century when it was built as a chapel before being converted into a hunting lodge in the 18th century. Today, the castle is run as a restaurant. You can enjoy Middle Eastern food within the historic walls, overlooking Carnkie village. Carn Brea only excepts booking, so don't just show up on the day. It's open daily from 6.30pm until late. To make a booking, call 01209 218358
