Lostwithiel

Known as the antiques capital of Cornwall, Lostwithiel is a small town in the south of the county. Founded in Norman times, the town has a rich and varied history, much of which is still in evidence today. From the imposing Restormel Castle to the Duchy Palace and 14th century church dedicated to Saint Bartholomew.
