Castle Drogo

Follow the winding paths below the castle into the sheltered Teign Gorge. Explore this ancient gorge, teeming with wildlife on trails along the river.

During the winter there's still lots of colour from ornamental grasses and acers.

This three-and-a-half-mile walk could be the most famous route on Dartmoor. It takes you past the imposing bulk of Castle Drogo - the last castle to be built in England. You'll also walk along the breathtaking Hunters Path high above the River Teign. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife including buzzards, dippers, grey wagtails and deer.

Find out more about where your four legged friend can go in the garden, visitor centre and on the estate.

The castle is now open until Monday 23 December decorated for Christmas. Find out what to expect when the castle then reopens in March.

There's a lot going on at Castle Drogo this half term, from Wild Tribe on Sunday 16 February to a helping nature trail.

Relax, recharge or indulge yourself with a delicious snack or light meal at our café.

From cards to candles and soaps to scarves there’s something to catch your eye.

Find out about our seven year conservation project to make the castle watertight. An undertaking more complex than it might sound.

Back in 2017 the Hydro Turbine on the River Teign was restored so it once again utilises the power of the river.
