    Overlooking Teign Gorge is Castle Drogo, a country house and mixed-revivalist castle built between 1911 and 1930. The castle was designed by legendary architect Sir Edwin Lutyens and pays homage to the rugged Dartmoor tors that surround it. There is a cafe, shop, and other facilities at the castle.

      Odd 1920s interpretation of a castle.

        October 2, 2024

        The "last castle in England" was only completed in 1930. It's something completely different and although it's not (yet) picturesquely dilapidated, it offers many interesting insights into life between the wars. Lovingly looked after by the National Trust and definitely worth a visit.
