Plympton Castle

City of Plymouth, GB

Plympton Castle

Small ruins of the shell of a thousand-year-old motte and bailey castle. Good views over the conservation area of '''Plympton St Maurice''', an ancient stannary [tin-mining] town worth seeing for its well-preserved medieval streets and architecture in the historic vernacular, including an old school

, church and small guildhall. Many houses also boast fine Georgian facades. The castle has no 'gatekeeper'; i.e. it is open all year round, at all times of the day - just walk in and explore! NB: The motte is a very steep climb.
