Powderham Castle lies in a beautiful deer park setting on the banks of the River Exe, just a stone's throw from the historic Cathedral city of Exeter.

The Courtenay family have been welcoming visitors to the Castle since 1959, and over the years in excess of a million people have been through the doors.

Very little of the Castle itself has changed since those early days but there are now many more attractions in the grounds for visitors of all ages to enjoy.

We are thrilled to announce as a result Powderham Castle was chosen from over 200 applicants as a finalist in the 'Tourism Oscars' - The South West Tourism Excellence awards, achieving 3rd place overall.

This is a reflection of the many improvements the attraction has seen over the past 2 years; the children's play area, activity trails and the Victorian Kitchen, all enhancing our visitors' experience. Click on the link below for more information about Powderham and its special events.
