The Castle Hill Estate extends to approximately 5,100 acres and has been the home of the Fortescue family since 1684. At its heart is the beautiful Palladian style Castle Hill house, which provides the backdrop for your visit. The house itself is surrounded by elegant Grade I Listed Parkland, mature gardens, a wonderful unique collection of historic follies and fountains and a variety of special veteran trees, shrubs and plants.

Our tour will be led by Lady Arran (former President and then Patron of Devon Gardens Trust) and her daughter Lady Laura Duckworth Chad, and the Head Gardener Jamie Henderson.
