Planning Your Visit
It is always a pleasure to welcome visitors to Powderham Castle and we want to ensure you have an enjoyable visit. There is so much to see and do, tours around the Castle, walks and views across the gardens and grounds, meeting the friendly animals and even the chance to do a bit of shopping! Not forgetting hours of fun in Courtenay Fort for the under 12`s. Most of all you want to relax and savour the whole experience.
You are welcome to simply stop for a guided tour of the Castle, but if you want to do everything we would recommend you allow up to 3 hours. Whatever your itinerary we will do everything we can to ensure it runs smoothly.
Secret Garden
The Secret Garden was originally the Victorian walled garden and is now home to the many friendly Powderham pets. Goats, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks, sheep, and stick insects to name but a few, live here in a blissfully happy environment and enjoy the company of visitors. The Garden is on a south-facing slope and has a glasshouse built by the architect Charles Fowler, which now provides a wet weather shelter for visitors and is used by the Estate to supply pinks in the Perfumed Garden, a lovely plant centre just within the Castle grounds.
Courtenay Fort
Children inspired by their visit to the 600 year-old real Castle, can let their imaginations run wild in the brand new Courtenay Fort, and play at being heroic knights and princesses - defending their prized fort.
Birds of Prey
Majestic Birds of Prey including falcons, hawks and owls will delight visitors of all ages with displays by expert falconer Karen Andriunas from the `Devon Bird of Prey Centre`.
