Start exploring Powderham Castle, one of the best days out in Devon

Nestled among an ancient deer park in the heart of Devon, Powderham Castle invites its guests for a breath of fresh air and over 600 years of heritage.

Since opening its gates to the public in 1959, the castle has seen over a million visitors from all across the world. All keen to explore the magical landscape and stories held in one of Devon’s oldest family homes.

Choose to visit either the Powderham Grounds Only, or both the Powderham Castle & Grounds on your visit to Exeter:

  • The Grounds: Enjoy some fresh air and marvel in the natural beauty of the property grounds. 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. This room takes you on a chronological exploration of Powderham’s distinguished architectural history, from the medieval foundation, the Civil War Sieges, Georgian, Rococo and Regency Expansion, to the dramatic neo-Gothic culmination. And the children will love going from room to room via secret doors, long libraries and even a hidden ballroom.
