About Old Cardinham Castle

Old Cardinham Castle guards the memory of a former stronghold, its earthworks still a quiet presence in the Cornish landscape. It lies 5.4 km east-north-east of Bodmin (from Bodmin: bearing 78°T, OS grid SX 125 679), and is situated south-south-east of Cardinham village. The air here often carries the scent of damp earth and ancient woodland, a subtle perfume that clings to the remains of its ramparts, suggesting a past deeply entwined with the wilder aspects of the land. Though no grand stone walls now stand, the contours of the earth tell a story of human endeavour against a backdrop of enduring natural beauty, where the light filters through the leaves with a soft, almost contemplative quality. The nearby River Lynher, a silver thread in the green expanse, would have once been a vital artery for this ancient settlement.
