Offering dramatic views of Dartmoor, set above the Teign Gorge, the ‘last castle to be built in England’ was acquired by the National Trust in 1974. Without a doubt, the property is one of the best works of Sir Edwin Lutyens. The architecture is set off by a fantastic series of cultured gardens, which at 900 feet are the highest owned by the trust in the country. A series of family activities take place at the castle during the summer months.
