About This AttractionSuggest an Edit
Lydford Castle rises above the gorge of the River Lyd and dates from the twelfth century. It was known as a prison tower and the earthworks of the original Norman fort lie to the south of it. Visitors can immediately see that Lydford Castle was an intimidating and very nasty place during a large part of past centuries. During the Middle Ages, Lydford Castle was used as a prison and as a Court of Law, being the administration office for the Royal Forest of Dartmoor.
