About Old Cardinham Castle, Cornwall
Old Cardinham Castle commands a rugged prominence that has watched over the Cornish landscape since the days of Norman fortification. It lies 3.3 miles 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 earthworks of the motte and bailey castle called Cardinham Castle occupy two hectares of this high ground, where the wind scours the grass with a persistent, sharp clarity. To the north-east, the slopes of White Hill rise to meet the shifting grey clouds, offering a vantage point that feels detached from the modern world below. The soil here retains a stubborn, ancient quality, echoing the defensive purpose for which the site was originally carved from the hillside. Beyond the immediate perimeter, the land falls away into a quietude that characterises much of this inland reach of Cornwall. Old Cardinham Castle remains a stoic relic of a feudal era, its form softened by the passage of centuries yet still distinct against the horizon. The light here has a way of lingering on the old stone and earth, revealing the contours of a past that refuses to fade entirely from view.
