Berry Pomeroy Castle

Berry Pomeroy Castle, Totnes, Devon, TQ9 6LJ.

This romantic ruined castle is situated in a picturesque Devon valley and steeped in local folklore and legend. The gatehouse and defensive curtain wall date from the late 15th century and behind them are the remains of an Elizabethan country house built C.1560-1600 by the Seymour family. Edward Seymour, first Duke of Somerset - also known as the uncle and governor of the boy-king, Edward VI - acquired the castle in 1547. On the wall of the gatehouse chamber is a 15th-century painting of the three kings bearing gifts to Christ. An audio tour is also available.
