Attractions at Powderham Castle

Courtenay Fort

New for 2006. Children inspired by their visit to the 600-year-old real Castle can let their imaginations run wild in the brand new Courtenay Fort, and play at being heroic knights and princesses - defending their prized Fort.

Designed and built by a Cornish company, the Fort spans 21m, with a central turret 4.2m high, a suspension bridge, nets, parallel bars, climbing wall, monkey bars, slide and many other exciting features, and is a perfect play area for the under-12’s. Children must be supervised at all times.

The Secret Garden & Courtenay Fort are open from 10.30am; closing times will vary during the season, please check on arrival.
