Totnes Castle attraction
Wonderful place to get in touch with the past. Totnes also has a castle. Is a focal point of Totnes and stands as a mighty legacy to the power of the Normans. It is one of the best surviving examples of an early Norman motte and bailey castle. Managed by English Heritage it dates to William the Conqueror and Norman times with the surviving stone keep and curtain wall dating from around the 14th century. At the top, you get amazing panoramic views across Totnes, right across the River Dart as it winds itself away from the town and towards Dartmouth, and on the other side views right up to Dartmoor.
