Powderham Castle and estate

The castle is privately owned (i.e. nor English Heritage or National Trust) and is still the seat of the Courtenays, Earls of Devon. Medieval in origin, heavily altered in the 18th & 19th centuries. Grade 1 listed, a full description can be found at LinkExternal link . It is open to the public and admission includes access to the Belvedere, but not to Powderham Park (see separate shared description), the deer park around the castle.
