The 'last castle to be built in England' with dramatic views over Dartmoor
Inside this remarkable granite building, set above the Teign Gorge, is a surprisingly warm and comfortable family home.
Commissioned by retail tycoon Julius Drewe, and designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, the castle harks back to a romantic past, while its brilliant design heralds the modern era.
Behind the imposing façade, poignant family keepsakes sit alongside 17th-century tapestries. The dramatic Dartmoor setting can be appreciated from the delightful formal garden and walks into a rhododendron valley.
Tours and fun activities are arranged throughout the year. Our visitor centre and café specialising in local produce have been enlarged and improved.
