What should you pack for Lostwithiel?
A waterproof jacket is essential even in summer, as showers can arrive unexpectedly. Layers work best: a base layer, a fleece or jumper, and a waterproof shell. In winter (November to February), add a warm coat, hat and gloves as temperatures can dip to 2–3°C at night. Sturdy footwear is advisable if you plan to walk the nearby trails or explore Restormel Castle.
