You're standing at Launceston Castle, high above the little town of Launceston in Cornwall. Start by looking up at that steep mound with the round wall on top. That's the motte, a great heap of earth, crowned by a circular shell keep with a tall, dark tower rising out of the middle. Notice anything? The tower leans, just slightly.
