Powdreham Castle, Devon, United Kingdom

The historic home of the Earl of Devon, Powderham is a stately but still friendly place built in 1391 and remodelled in the Victorian era. A visit takes in a fine wood-paneled Great Hall, parkland with 650 deer and glimpses of life "below stairs" in the kitchen. Powderham is on the River Exe near Kenton, 8 miles south of Exeter.
