More about this scene
This, the south gate to the castle keep, is today the main entrance, but it is thought that in the castle's heyday the north gate was the main access. Today the wooden gates are gone, and so is the fountain in the road, erected by the Hender family in memory of their son Leonard, who drowned near Land's End in 1894. The fountain was removed during road improvements in the 1980s; it was rescued from the council dump by the Old Cornwall Society, and was re-erected near the reservoir on Windmill Hill.
