Restormel Castle stands by the River Fowey near Lostwithiel in Cornwall, England, and is notable for its perfectly circular design. It is one of the four chief Norman castles of Cornwall, alongside Launceston, Tintagel and Trematon. Once a luxurious residence of the Earl of Cornwall, it was all but ruined by the 16th century, briefly reoccupied and fought over during the English Civil War, and then abandoned. It is now in the care of English Heritage and open to the public.
