"Once the largest castle in Devon, nestling in the foothills of Dartmoor. Reputedly haunted and mentioned in the Domesday Book." owned & managed by English Heritage
English Heritage ruined castle in a secluded woodland setting adjacent to the river Okment. Well worth a visit coupled with the Dartmoor museum in Okehampton.

Begun soon after the Norman Conquest as a motte and bailey castle with a stone keep, it was converted into a sumptuous residence in the 14th century by Hugh Courtenay, Earl of Devon, much of whose work survives.
