Make your Bakewell Slice last at the cafe. £3.80 and its a two-chomper :-)

Great little place to visit. It's an English Heritage Site so free entry for members.

Path from castle to brook is one way only with cycle - downhill!

The castle has an excellent cafe, and small lake on the john Musgrave trail where there are waterfowl. The castle has a haunting atmosphere and you can learn all about the Pomeroy family's residence there

Dartmouth Castle was built in 1388 to protect the rich town's harbour against French raids. About a hundred years later the walls were strengthened, and the gun tower was added. This was the first coastal artillery installation in the UK. The castle was updated in the mid 1600s for the English civil war. It's been updated several times since then, and was used in the first and second world war. Today the castle is managed by English Heritage, it's open for visitors every day from 10:00 - 17:00. It's paid entry unless you're an English Heritage member.

Compton Castle is a fortified manor house with a beautiful formal garden. The castle is over 600 years old. Managed by the National Trust it's paid entry for non-members.

A 15th century castle is a ruined and apparently haunted castle in the woods east of Totnes. English Heritage manage it and there is an entrance fee for non-members. It's worth a look around if you have the time. Otherwise, you can get a good glimpse of the castle from the footpaths that run around the area.

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.
