From the American Garden, The Rose Garden, The Secret Garden, and The Belvedere Tower, there’s lot to see for all ages. The Secret Garden features a family picnic area, the Courtenay Fort and it's home to the Pets Corner, making your visit perfect for the whole family, no matter the age.
- The Castle: After exploring the gardens, it's time to discover the hidden secrets of the Castle at your own pace. The grandest room, The State Room, is the face of Powderham.
