This is a very impressive hill fort site with spectacular views across the county. we decided that this would be a perfect place for a cache to make the visit more enjoyable.
Castle-an-Dinas is one of the largest and most impressive iron-age hillforts in Cornwall, sited in an imposing position on the summit of Castle Downs with extensive and panoramic views across central Cornwall to both north and south coasts. It features in Cornish legend as one of the seats of the Duke of Cornwall and folklore has it that Cador, Duke of Cornwall, and Ygraine, King Arthur’s mother were killed here. That the site has attracted such mythic associations may be a reflection of its continued significance from its prehistoric beginnings into the Post-Roman and Early mediæval periods.
Abby is our Grandaughter and she wanted to place her first cache in this spectacular place.
The cache is placed by kind permission of the Cornwall Heritage Trust(site owners)& English Heritage. The site is protected as a scheduled ancient monument and any ground disturbance is against the law. Please respect the antiquity and importance of the monument, and leave time to look around as the views and site are spectacular.
