Around Resugga Castle

Rare footage of the privately owned Resugga Iron age Hillfort in the Restormel area of Cornwall.You see the central encampment and the setting.Also close-up views of the defensive ditches.Again the setting is superb with views over the valley.No map refs because this is on private land.Video and music by D & J Prior.

All nice and that, but like a radio4 listener would say,"what's with the music?"

Hi BB

Yes you are right !! But this is minority viewing and listening.

i had a look around here a few years ago,it really is a special place.grid ref. 939512,i know it's on private land but as long as you don't take your dog,leave no trace and all that what's the harm!places like this should be open to the public.helman tor and rocky valley are other favorites of mine.thanks for putting this up.

How right you are Merv.All these places have a special feeling and they are normally sited..just so.Pleased to help with it.By the way I have a St Necatan's Glen/ Rocky Valley video on my site.

Best wishes

Ita was a story long ago, about how the old churches and castles were all *lined up* in order that one could easily find a true route through the area :) I wish I remembered more :)

I have had a quick serach through and you are right about that.The old religious sites were aligned to straight tracks and walking ways and also to stars and planets.Christian worshipful places were placed directly inside or over the old religion sancutaries and hillforts ets.
