Yes, Launceston Castle in the town of Launceston, in Cornwall is a medieval castle.
There are probably others but here is just the one that I know of.
Yes, England is covered in the things! There are hundreds of them all over the country.
Some are lived in like Windsor, the castle with the longest history of continuous occupation, to the once great castles, like Clare and Fotheringhay that have been reduced to rubble and only fragments of walls remain to be viewed; to the huge sentinels, empty towers like Rochester, the tallest keep in the country, ruinous inside but still standing, to those converted to luxurious hotels like Amberley in West Sussex.
Some are open to the public, Leeds in Kent is dubbed the most beautiful in England, running a close second is Bodiam in Sussex. Some are in private hands and not open to the public, like Allington, also in Kent, beautiful and small and hidden behind a wood on the river Medway. Some are remote, Peverill in Derbyshire, Dolwyddelan in north Wales, rising up out of nowhere on a rocky outgrop, with no warning. Others are in the middle of shopping areas and business districts, the Tower of London, Durham castle, Cliffords Tower in York.
Some are enormous with walls several metres thick, like Caerphilly, others are small and barely warrant the name castle, like Scotney in Kent. Some are vast sprawling constructions, added to over the years until they are small towns, like Windsor, Dover, Warwick. Others are more private and personal like Hever castle.
If you want to discover more about England's castles, just check the internet, or for a lovely informative coffee table book, the sumptuously named Plantagenet Somerset Fry has a book simply called 'Castles' which is my own castle bible.
