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.
