Totnes Castle is a historic landmark located in the town of Totnes, in the South Hams district of Devon, England. The castle is a well-preserved example of a motte-and-bailey castle, which was built in the 11th century by the Normans. The castle is situated on a hill overlooking the River Dart and the town of Totnes.
The castle consists of a large motte, which is a man-made mound of earth, and a bailey, which is an enclosed courtyard. The motte is over 30 meters high and was built using earth and stone. The bailey is surrounded by a stone wall and contains the remains of several buildings, including a great hall, a chapel, and a kitchen.
The castle has a rich history and has been the site of many important events throughout the centuries. It was used as a royal residence in the 12th and 13th centuries and was later used as a prison. During the English Civil War, the castle was held by the Royalists and was besieged by the Parliamentarians.
Today, Totnes Castle is open to the public and is a popular tourist attraction. Visitors can explore the castle and learn about its history through exhibits and guided tours. The castle also hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including reenactments, concerts, and festivals.
Overall, Totnes Castle is a fascinating and well-preserved example of a medieval castle, and is a must-see for anyone interested in history or architecture.
