Holiday Cottages in Launceston
You can spot Launceston from miles around. Its steepest point heralded by the prominent ruins of Launceston Castle. These first sightings of the town’s ancient heritage invite you to explore a town brimful with narrow lanes weaving you from the still standing 14th-century gatehouse to grand Georgian houses and myriad independent shops, producers and boutiques.
Stroll up the mound upon which the castle sits to take in the view. You’ll soon appreciate how much of Cornwall’s farming industry is nestled in these parts. And you’ll doubtless taste some of their products during a stay in Launceston. The castle green provides the perfect family picnic spot while imagination whir over what events have past in the vicinity over centuries. For an alternative view, nearby Kit Hill claims the highest point in the Tamar Valley. To take in the views from ground level hop aboard Launceston Steam Railway for a 5-mile tour of the Kensey Valley.
