Some Lydford Cottages

Lydford in West Devon lies on the site of an Anglo-Saxon town, â€œHlidanâ€. Hlidan was founded around 880AD as an important stronghold of King Alfred the Great. Lydford still retains roadways of Hlidan and a Saxon defensive earth-work wall. The church of St. Petrok is dedicated to a 6th Century Welsh monk. It displays beautifully carved bench-ends, depicting a Saint or holy man surrounded by words or animals and plants. Beside the church stands a roofless Norman castle. The castle can be visited any time, but with deep drops and steep stone staircases inside, caution is advised.
