Pengersick Castle in Praa Sands is believed to be one of the most haunted locations in Cornwall. The Pengersick family have lived here since the 12th Century when it was built. However, there is evidence that the site dates back to the Bronze age, some 5000 years ago. The Pengersick family where amongst the most notorious in all Cornwall, with many legends associated with them throughout the years. The Pengersick’s suffered in numbers during the plague in the 1400’s, and the remaining heiress then entered a dynastic marriage which then resulted in the creation of the Tudor Towers which you see at the castle today.
During the past 35 years, the castle had been under the ownership of the late Angela Evans. Mrs Evans founded the Pengersick Historic & Education Trust in order to fund the restoration of the castle after she had passed away. The castle is now owned by the trust in which she set up, and work on restoring the castle to its former glories continues to this day.
