Once again a pristine National Trust property and grounds. Volunteers here doing a wonderful job. I recommend purchasing NT membership as there is so many great National Trust places to visit in Devon

Schloss aus Granitstein erbaut im 20. Jahrhundert - jüngstes Schloss Englands - in der atemberaubenden Landschaft von Dartmoor eingebettet. Kunstvoll und der Zeit entsprechend eingerichtete Zimmer. Außer dem noch bewohnten Bereich ist alles zu sehen - von der Butlerbude über die Küche, bis zu den Elektroinstallationen für das Wasserkraftwerk und der Kapelle im Untergeschoss. Ein Besuch lohnt sich!

Nice location. Fascinating it's a castle built in the 20th century
