The Castle, Gardens and Grounds

Every season there’s a reason to visit

Tours

Join one of our expert guides for an immersive journey through the castle’s storied past. These tours are free of charge and run daily. To book a tour, please speak to the team at the Welcome Centre.

Please note that our tours are very popular and are on a first-come, first-served basis.

For those who like to explore at their own leisure, the castle is open for free-flow entry.

Nature Backpacks

Our Children’s Nature Backpacks are now available for hire, equipped with everything young explorers need for outdoor adventures including a bug catching net, magnifying glass, bug inspector glass, and binoculars.

These can be hired from the Welcome Centre at a small cost.

Walking Routes

Enjoy a scenic circular walking route through Powderham’s woodlands, leading to various spots of interest.

The adventurous can trek to the Belvedere Tower in about 40 minutes from the Welcome Centre, passing by attractions like the working Forge and the American Garden.

Stone tracks make the routes accessible, but caution is advised on slippery paths.

The American Garden and Belvedere are now shut until spring 2025.
