The hidden remains of a bronze age are situated nearby and it is here the royal mint was established during the reign of Ethelred the Unready, producing Lydford Pennies which can be seen in the restaurant area.
Situated approximately 5 miles off the A30, the Castle Inn is less than an hours drive from the North and South Devon coast s and Cornwall making the Castle Inn an ideal central location to explore the area. Lydford is a great destination for walkers, cyclists and those wanting simply to relax. There is easy access to the "Granite Way" off-road cycle path.
