Once the ancient capital of Cornwall, Launceston is a market town with steep sided hills. It is often thought of as the gateway to Cornwall.

Launceston Castle was built shortly after the Norman Conquest in 1068. It's towering position high above the town means it can be seen from miles around. Launceston was once the capital of Cornwall but when this was changed to Bodmin, the castle fell into disrepair. It was used as a jail and then to host assizes, courts held in county towns presided over by a visiting judge.

Warbstow Bury is an Iron Age Hill Fort. which is the best preserved in the county. Two sentry boxes were positioned here in the Second World War where the Home Guard would keep watch for enemy aircraft. It is easily accessible from the road, although this would involve walking across a grassy area.

Picturesque freshwater lake. The largest freshwater lake in the Southwest. The lake has a large activity centre. Canoeing, fishing, archery and windsurfing amongst others. The centre also has a fantastic cafe serving quality freshly prepared food and drink.

Located on the edge of Bodmin Moor, Davidstow was once used as an airfield for military vehicles and was an important base during WWII. Over 100 aircrew lost their lives in accidents at the airfield. Today, the area is a peaceful contrast to its past. The lives and stories of those who served at the airfield is documented in the museum. You can visit the museum from 10.30am to 4pm from Easter until October. Entrance is free, although donations are welcome. You can find more information, here: http://davidstowmemorialmuseum.co.uk/
