Tiverton Castle Visits and Tours
Tiverton Castle is a wonderful, romantic
and atmospheric castle to visit and great fun for children. One
visitor commented “It`s not the biggest Castle to visit, but one of
the most informative”.
WHAT TO SEE:
-
Try on some English Civil War Armour and
imagine what it was like to wear such heavy and cumbersome kit
-
Admire the different ages of
architecture
-
Learn the history of the Castle as
you go round, and see the various displays relating to it.
-
See the medieval garderobes (loos)
originally cleaned out by children
-
Read the various ghost stories and
about secret passages
-
Feel the weight of a cannon ball ‑
far heavier than you think.
-
See some interesting furniture and
royal pictures.
-
Find out why there is a small
Napoleonic collection in Tiverton.
-
Spend some time going round the
beautiful walled gardens - interesting and rare plants,
colourful borders, well-stocked kitchen garden, orchard,
woodland garden.
-
You are allowed to sit on the chairs
as you go round ‑ this is a private house, not National Trust
property, and it will not be overcrowded.
-
Tiny shop selling inexpensive,
good quality souvenirs mainly relating to the Castle.
