Castle Hillclimb, near Lostwithiel (entrance from Sweetshouse) runs each year, in August. The event will see up to 100 cars each of the two days driving up the 820 yard, which climbs 350 feet over the distance of the course as fast as they can. Racing starts around 9am and usually finishes between 16:30 and 17:00 with an awards presentation shortly afterwards, at which all are welcome. With spect
ator viewing available at all of the best vantage points put this event in your diary as something not to be missed! As the spectator car park is a little distance across a steep field from the hill, there is a taxi service provided between the spectator car park at the top of the wooded section of the hill. If looking at the cars at close quarters is your thing then the Castle paddock part way the down the hill is the place to go! You will find a wide range of machinery, from standard road-going cars to purpose designed and built single seater racing cars to fire your imagination. During the weekend there are also motorbikes competing at the venue to add yet another dimension to the exciting weekends racing. We have full catering facilities on site, including a hot food van and most of the time there is an ice cream van too!
