An English Heritage castle has been forced to shut after a swarm of bees 'terrorized' several towns.<br /><br />Restormel Castle in Lostwithiel in Cornwall shut today due to a "very high level of bee activity".<br /><br />The closure comes after several locals reported a "massive buzzing" overhead - leaving them "terrified".<br /><br />The bees were also spotted swarming in Fowey and Truro.<br /><br />Faye Wilton, a local community carer, caught the bees on video whilst leaving a patients house.<br /><br />The 35-year-old said: "It scared the living hell out of me! I came out of a clients house to hear a massive buzzing sound like a plane. <br /><br />"It was coming over my head. I looked up and they were all swarming over me. I ran to my car to which is where I then filmed them.<br /><br />"I haven't got a clue where they've come from though."<br /><br />A post on the English Heritage website reads: "Restormel Castle is closed today due to a very high level of bee activity on site. Apologies for any inconvenience caused."<br /><br />Other locals in the area took to social media to comment on the swarm of bees.<br /><br />One said: "We had [the bees] today, flew right above us.
