Autumn colour at the castle

This is the perfect time of year to make the most of the last days of summer and look ahead to the crisp colourful days of autumn. 

It’s a busy time at Castle Drogo as the countdown to completion of our building project begins. It will be the last opportunity to take a trip up the viewing tower to get a bird’s eye look at the work on the roof before it closes on November 4th and we will be holding our last ‘meet the builders day’ on Tuesday, October 23rd. Don’t miss the Edwardian Country Fair on September 15th and 16th, there’ll be local music, performances and demonstrations as well as lots of traditional games to play.
