Restormel Castle, [126]. The mouldering ruins of this celebrated and once magnificent fortress, rearing its ivy-clad walls above the contiguous valleys, has a most picturesque and venerable appearance. It was once a royal residence, and afterwards long inhabited by the Earls of Cornwall, though now only tenanted by the owl, and similar inmates. The castle and honour of Restormel is annexed to the Duchy of Cornwall; but the mansion formerly connected with the estate, and still bearing the name of Restormel, is the property of Lord Mount Edgecumbe, and in the occupation of John Hext, Esq.

The park contains 2,253 acres, enclosed with a brick wall. The rangership is in the hands of the King; and the Deputy Ranger is the Countess Dowager of Mansfield.
The new, or stone lodge, built by George the First, was given by his present Majesty, in 1802, for life, to Viscount Sidmouth, with sixty acres of land round it. The park also contains several other lodges.
