The Earl & Countess of Devon are delighted to share their home and the 600 years of Courtenay family history with you. Join an entertaining guided tour to see the impressive Castle rooms, from the lavish Music Room right down to the Victorian kitchen. Hear fascinating stories and visualise what life would have been like for the past Earls, their families and household staff.

Outside discover the many acres of gardens and grounds. From the beautiful Rose Garden, an idyllic spot overlooking the deer park and Exe estuary to the peaceful Woodland Garden, with its stunning collection of trees. For the keener walker the breathtaking views from the foot of the Belvedere tower are very rewarding – you can see for miles and feel on top of the world!

Our team of friendly staff are just as keen to share Powderham with you and go the extra mile to help you have a truly memorable day. One long-standing member of staff; Peter Sandercock, has recently been commended for his customer service.
