Castle Dore



Monday morning we worked our way on down to the

southern Cornish coast, intending to drive out to Land's End,

and then back the north coast. Near the harbor village of

Fowey we stopped at the Iron Age hill fort known as Castle

Dore. All that remains are the bank and ditch and some sense

of size. Castle Dore traditionally is associated with King

Mark and thus with the Tristan and Isolde legend. Given the

Wagnerian associations, I had to see it. Now we have to

look for Tristan's castle in Brittany!
