Warbstow Bury
Warbstow Bury is the second largest and best-preserved Iron Age fort in Cornwall with massive ramparts. It was built approximately 2500 years ago as a tribal stronghold and residence of the local aristocracy, and was probably abandoned in the first century AD after the Roman conquest. There are panoramic views over the surrounding countryside on a clear day. It was once the venue for an annual gathering of Methodists from the circuits of Camelford, Holsworthy and Launceston who assembled here on Whit Tuesday for an open air service.
