Heritage Open Days at Launceston Castle
Each September, Heritage Open Days gives people across England the chance to visit historic sites free of charge, and Launceston Castle is taking part this year. Perched above the town, the castle is one of Cornwall's most striking Norman remains, with a commanding motte and views across the surrounding landscape. It's a chance to explore the site without the usual entry fee — whether you're a local who's walked past it a hundred times or a visitor keen to dig into Cornwall's history. No booking details are listed, so it's worth checking ahead if you plan to visit on the day.
