Where dramatic architecture meets innovative family home. A 20th century castle overlooking the Teign Gorge.
We're looking forward to welcoming you to Castle Drogo. Please read this article carefully so that you know what to expect before your visit.
High above the ancient woodlands of the Teign Gorge stands Castle Drogo. Inspired by the rugged Dartmoor tors that surround it, the castle was designed and built by renowned 20th-century architect Sir Edwin Lutyens. The castle has recently come to the end of a major conservation project, making it watertight.
Outside the Lutyens designed garden is colourful in all seasons, and there are miles of pathways to explore in the Teign Gorge.
