The basics

Suitability

This is an event for all ages.

Meeting point

The entrance to the castle over the winter period is the East Terrace Door. Signs will direct you from the main drive.

What to bring and wear

It's likely to be wet and cold up here on Dartmoor over the winter season, make sure you wrap up warm and keep your waterproofs handy!

Accessibility

The East Terrace Door requires navigating some shallow granite steps without a handrail. The front door can be used as an alternative step free access route upon request. Please let the Visitor Reception know on arrival if this is required.
