Lonely Planet review

Looming romantically over the glassy River Carew, 12th-century Carew Castle and its restored tidal mill exude historic atmosphere. The Elizabethan tidal mill has a causeway that once trapped the incoming tide in a pond, then released water through sluice gates to turn the millwheels. For 400 years until 1937, the mill ground corn for the castle community.

The 1.6km (1mi) circular walk around the castle, mill, causeway and bridge is recommended. A tall 11th-century Celtic cross stands by the road near the castle entrance.
