Penhallam Manor

In a delightful woodland setting, these low, grass-covered ruins are the remains of a moated 13th century manor house built by Andrew de Cardinham.

Moated manor houses are found mainly in central and eastern England, but are rare in the south-west. Penhallam is therefore particularly unusual. 

Also having been abandoned in the 14th century, its full medieval ground plan has survived unaltered by later building work.
