Caerhays Castle
Caerhays Castle is a semi-castellated country house on the Cornish coast, built between 1807 and 1810 and later adapted and gardened by the Williams family. The stone house presents a long crenellated southern frontage with round towers at its ends, set against a wooded hillside and overlooking Porthluney Cove. The estate includes extensive gardens, ancillary service buildings, and surviving older features such as an ancient chapel and the Watchhouse Walk to the sea.

The shape it held in its prime.
A long, 160-foot southern frontage of rough local grey stone with continuous crenellated battlements and a series of rectangular bays punctuated by tall, multi‑paned sash windows and numerous brick chimneys. Cylindrical, crenellated towers anchor each end of the façade. The house sits elevated on an embattled terrace with trimmed lawns and garden beds in the foreground and a densely wooded hillside rising immediately behind; garden walls and small folly towers stand to the flanks.
