Powderham Castle

In the old parish and manor of Powderham, in the former hundred of Exminster, Devon, Powderham Castle is a fortified manor house that is roughly 9.7 kilometers south of Exeter and 0.4 kilometers north-east of Kenton, where the major public access gates are situated. It is a listed structure of Grade I. The National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens lists the park and gardens as Grade II* sites.

On the west bank of the River Exe estuary, where it joins its tributary, the River Kenn, it is located on flat, historically marshy ground. The little town of Lympstone is located on the Exe's other side. The current castle, which began as a building constructed sometime about 1390, underwent substantial expansion and renovation in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Courtenay family, Earls of Devon, continue to reside in the castle.

The Courtenay family, the Earls of Devon, still reside at the castle today. However, it is a well-liked tourist destination due to a constant schedule of open house events, tours, and outdoor activities.
