Location Situated within walking distance to schools, recreational facilities, shops which include Tesco, Lidl, a retail park which has an M&S Foodhall, Costa and Argos to name but a few. The towns skyline is dominated by the ruins of a Norman castle that stands high on a hillside with dramatic views over Bodmin moor and Dartmoor. The castle was a strategically important building after the Norman Conquest and its green was used for executions until the 19th century. The town is situated between the north and south coasts, so is convenient for beaches and the Cornish countryside.
