Atop Castle Hill, you find the remains of Mere Castle, a medieval fort built by the Earl of Cornwall in 1253. Whilst you can only observe the earthworks these days, at one time the castle boasted six towers, a hall, inner and outer gates, a well, and a chapel. The hill is a prominent landmark and affords fine views over the town of Mere.
