Powderham Castle

Powderham, the family home of The Earl of Devon in Kenton, lies in a beautiful deer park on the banks of the River Exe, just a stone’s throw from the historic Cathedral City of Exeter.

The Castle was first opened to visitors in 1959. Since then, in excess of a million people have been through the doors to share in over 600 years of history and heritage.
