Historical Castles

Who doesn’t love to roam drafty castle corridors, imagining what it was like in days gone by? With over 600 years of history within its walls, Powderham Castle is one of Devon’s oldest family homes. There’s also Berry Pomeroy Castle – purported to be haunted – which is part majestic ruin, with a Tudor mansion built within the earlier castle. It’s dog friendly too.
