Built in the 1100s on order of Henry I, Tiverton Castle has had so many renovations and re-buildings that you can see architecture from almost every period since. Privately owned and once the home of the Earls of Devon, the castle can be visited during the summer season. The well maintained gardens are a pleasure to walk around and the tours give great information about the castle's lengthy history.
