Castle Hill Estate

Highlight • Monument

Castle Hill was built in 1730 by the Fortescue family and reconstructed following a large fire in 1934. It was caused by the boiler for the newly installed central heating and tragically killed both the housekeeper and a maid.

On top of the hill behind the house is Sham Castle.

The family still live on the estate which is now also used as a wedding and conference venue and the gardens are open to the public. For more information visit their website castlehilldevon.co.uk
