Castle Drogo, Devon
Castle Drogo, Devon: A Souvenir Guide | National Trust (Great Britain)
2 posts
This granite fortress, commanding panoramic views of Dartmoor, was built between 1910 and 1930 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. There are delightful varied walks through the River Teign Gorge.

I got the amazing opportunity to play a Bechstein grand piano owned by the National Trust in an actual castle today! It was slightly terrifying, but it was a fascinating place to visit and read about (and of course have some coffee in)! #castledrogo #bellfamilycoffeetour

GabrielleDubois You play the piano? What kind of music do you like to play? 8y
Embellembell @GabrielleDubois I'll play anything and everything really, but I love contemporary composers like Einaudi and Cacciapaglia the most! 8y
Louise Oh, how wonderful! I'm a pianist, too, and can just imagine the thrill of playing such a piano in such a setting! 😍😍😍 8y
