Standing proudly within the quaint old town of Tiverton is a grand castle that has seen war, royalty, and almost a millennium of history.

Tiverton Castle is an impressive building with an equally impressive past, and we promise there's something to interest everyone here.

Explore the regal history of Tiverton Castle

This beautiful building has seen several owners through the ages, including some pretty famous names.

Princess Katherine Plantagenet, daughter of Edward IV, lived here with her husband, the Earl of Devon, who she married in 1495. She died in 1527, and was buried in St Peter’s Church just next door.

Originally built as a motte and bailey in 1106, the Castle has withstood the test of time. In its captivating architecture, you can still see remnants of the many different periods it has witnessed, including medieval Tudor and Victorian buildings, as well as improvements from the 17th to 19th-centuries.

Discover Tiverton Castle's bloody history

Although it managed to stay out of conflict for most of its history, Tiverton Castle is no stranger to war. During the English Civil War, Sir Thomas Fairfax's New Model Army managed to capture the Castle after a short siege ended in a lucky shot from one of the cannons hitting the outer drawbridge chain.

The Castle has a collection of armour from this time for you to see. You can even try it on - a great opportunity to take pictures and truly immerse yourself in the life of a 17th-century soldier!

Explore the beautiful Tiverton Castle Gardens

On the grounds of Tiverton Castle, there's also a beautiful walled garden which brings new life to the ruins outside.

The garden is home to fragrant flowers and ancient trees, including many colourful spring bulbs, climbing plants that snake up the old stones, and a pleasant orchard full of fruit trees. There is even a kitchen garden where delicious food is grown.

Whether you want to learn about its rich history or you just want to enjoy a nice walk around its tranquil grounds, we’re sure you’ll have a great day out in Devon.
