Powderham Castle
An enchanting fortified manor, Powderham Castle has been the family seat of the Earls of Devon for over 600 years. Now the grand house and spectacular gardens are open for the public to enjoy.
The best way to uncover the castle is by embarking on one of the guided tours on offer. The State Room Tour showcases the finest rooms in Powderham Castle, as well as their secret doors and hidden ballroom.
The Upstairs Tour is another highlight, where you can uncover spooky insights, spiral staircases and a wealth of rare, family possessions. Alternatively, a wealth of Open House sessions are offered daily, so you can discover the castle’s interiors at your leisure.
After exploring Powderham Castle, why not make your way out to the grounds and gardens? The castle benefits from being surrounded by a magnificent deer park, alongside the American Garden, Rose Garden and Belvedere Tower.
Visiting the Secret Garden is a must, where a play area and a variety of animals await. Chickens, sheep, donkeys and goats are a few of the charming creatures here.
