Totnes Castle looks almost as though its wide, round tower is the crown upon the head of the steep green hill where it stands.
This ancient Saxon structure was constructed shortly after the Norman conquest, and has undergone much transformation since its original incarnation as an earth-and-timber fortress.
Today, the circular stone hall is accessible by a steep hike up the large mound where it is located, which serves as a great place for anyone looking to picnic or explore. The view from the hill, and from the walls of Totnes’ shell keep, offers stunning views of the River Dart and the surrounding countryside.
