Chun Castle
Chun Castle, on the summit of Chun Downs, is one of Cornwall's most natural hillforts.
This is a stunning historical site with great coastal views.
It is believed that settlements existed as far back as the Iron Age up to and including 500 AD.
Chun Castle still possesses the remains of external stone walls and deep ditches, and within, there is further evidence of housing, by way of smaller circular stone walls.
This castle seems to have been the centre of the West Penwith area, covering all the surrounding territories.
The mystery of Chun Castle was evident on my visit, especially since we arrived early in the morning, shortly after sunrise.
I got a sense of thriving activity, in years gone by, and the evidential rocks 'sprayed' across the grounds provided me an insight into the basic way of life that once existed.
Chun Castle is a gorgeous most prominent hillfort where one can stay close by, in the many cottages available.
Many of Cornwall's best cottages can be found here, not too far from such an historical site.
Cornwall's cottage vendors are extremely hospitable to visitors, wishing to explore further Cornish history, structures, monuments and historical venues; most visitors arrive to find many of Cornwall's most interesting locations.
There is plenty of cottage accommodation available, throughout the whole of Cornwall; making Cornwall a superb place to begin your discovery of the many ancient locations and other points of fascination.
I recommend that you choose a charming cottage, which should add to your experience of this beautiful corner of Britain.
Organise a visit to Cornwall and discover historical sites, villages, holiday cottages, and the stunning countryside.
Cornwall is a great county with, sandy beaches, countryside, culture and traditional values.
You should, no doubt, take pleasure in much of what is close by, throughout Cornwall, in the luxury of a traditional ancient feeling cottage.
A main attraction of Cornwall, is that it is home to places awash with history, mythology and tradition, not to mention the stunning small trading towns and villages.
You should realise the historical relevance of a cottage in Cornwall, built from local stone, many having been converted from old disused barns.
These cottages are an important part of Cornwall's history and a visual reminder of how striking it is to be in Cornwall.
Chun Castle is made up of prominent stone rings, ditches, and housing rings within the inner circle.
Much of the evidence of life at the castle derived from excavated pottery carried out around 1930.
