National Trust - Castle Drogo

About

**All National Trust properties are currently closed until further notice**

Nothing is normal. Dramatic castle overlooking the Teign Gorge, undergoing a conservation project to make it watertight. 

Hight above the ancient woodlands of the Teign Gorge stands Castle Drogo. Inspired by the rugged Dartmoor tors that surround it, the castle was designed and built by renowned 20th-century architect Sir Edwin Lutyens. Nothing is normal at Drogo, as the castle is currently undergoing a major conservation project to save it, by making it watertight. This year inside the castle is a transition year as collection is unpacked and goes back on display, some rooms are back to 'normal' whilst others have become storage areas. 

Outside the Lutyens designed garden is colourful in all seasons, and there are miles of pathways to explore in the Teign Gorge from along the bubbling river to Wooston hillfort, high above the gorge.
