テッドバーンセントメアリーの洞窟・トップ3

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.

Will stop at Mill End next time for snack.

These stairs take you to Drogo Castle, which you can of course visit. However, you can also take a break in the castle garden.

A stunning gravel trail taking you high above the river with outstanding views. Be sure to follow it all the way through the forest and along the river. Best ridden down hill from the West. Easily rideable on gravel bikes with 40mm tyres and only one short, 20m section needed walking. Watch out for walkers!

Lovely little sheltered spot with a couple of picnic benches just down from Belvedere House. A great little secret place to rest on a cycle or walk. A short walk up the path to Belvedere House (Lawrence Castle)

Done on road bike with gravel tyres. Great vistas.

Odd 1920s interpretation of a castle.

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.
