You might not think it, but Castle Drogo has experienced earthquakes before! That's all down to the different rocks beneath your feet. The granite of Dartmoor was also a big part of why Julius Drewe built Drogo the way he did. This February Half Term can you survive an earthquake? How about identifying your different stones? You'll do all this and more for a fun day out this Winter.

There will be 7 trail points around the castle gardens for you to find and try out. From trying your hand at panning for tin to destroying (or protecting) your own build from an earthquake, you’ll be able to gain a taste of the wonderful world of geology. For those that prefer a more relaxed day out other activities include exploring the difference between your sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks, or seeing if you can create your very own Dartmoor tor.

Do you know what's under your feet? Do you know the difference between your igneous or sedimentary rocks?
Come to Drogo to find out about the history of Dartmoor's foundations.
