Description

Tiverton Castle is a wonderful, romantic and atmospheric Castle to visit and great fun for children. Since it was originally built in wood in 1106 there have been a lot of changes to the building down the ages. After 1293 it was rebuilt in stone, and then changing fashions, Civil War and climate damage have dictated further changes. The moat was filled in and the land sold off many years ago;  so now there are only four acres left as an oasis of calm.

Try on some English Civil War Armour and imagine what it was like to wear such heavy and cumbersome kit. Admire the different ages of architecture. See the medieval garderobes originally cleaned out by children. Spend some time going round the beautiful walled gardens interesting and rare plants, colourful borders, well-stocked kitchen garden, orchard, woodland garden and more.

  • The Gardens: The earliest mention of a garden in Devon was in the 1400`s - the Earl of Devon had an apple garden at Tiverton Castle.  Replanting and landscaping work has been carried out over the last few years and the beautiful walled gardens enhance the romantic ruins of the Castle.  The garden covers some three acres, and is mainly level, but with paths and steps leading down to the River Exe.
