This granite fortress, commanding
panoramic views of Dartmoor, was built between 1910 and 193 for the
self-made millionaire Julius Drewe, and is one of the most remarkable
works of Sir Edwin Lutyens. The interior combines the grandeur of a
medieval castle with the comfort of the 20th century. the terraced
formal garden has an established rhododendron and magnolia collection,
spring bulbs, summer and autumn flowering herbaceous borders, rose
garden, shrub garden and circular croquet lawn.
