Totnes Castle is a classic Norman motte and bailey. It's perched on a hill above the town where it would have commanded the area and the important inland harbour of the River Dart.
The castle was originally an earth and timber construction. The first stone castle was built in the 13th century and then re-built as you see it today.
Managed by English Heritage there is an entry fee if you're not a member but the views from the walls are well worth it.
