The `last castle to be built in England', dramatically situated above the Teign Gorge

  • The ` last castle to be built in England'
  • One of the most remarkable works of Sir Edwin Lutyens
  • Terraced formal gardens and stunning walks through the River Teign Gorge

This granite fortress, commanding spectacular views of Dartmoor, was built between 1910 and 1930 for the self-made millionaire tea baron Julius Drewe. One of the most remarkable works of Sir Edwin Lutyens. The terraced formal garden has an established rhododendron and magnolia collection, spring bulbs, summer and autumn flowering herbaceous borders, rose garden, shrub garden and circular croquet lawn. There are delightful varied walks through the River Teign Gorge.

Perched more than 900 ft overlooking the wooded gorge of the River Teign, you can enjoy breathtaking scenery. The interior of the castle combines the grandeur of a medieval castle with the comfort of the 20th century.
