Launceston Castle

On the eastern edge of the moor is Launceston, a sturdy market town that's mainly worth visiting for the ruins of its 13th-century castle. With its circular keep plonked on top of a grassy hillock, it looks like a stage set from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. A spiral staircase leads up to the top for awesome 360-degree views.
