Tapestry
Julius Drewe was an ambitious man, he wanted to create an imposing ancestral home situated on a granite outcrop overlooking Dartmoor. Castle Drogo certainly achieved this, and is a striking building, made entirely of granite complete with portcullis and arrow slits. It overlooks the deep Teign Gorge and the view stretches to Haytor.
While the changes to the exterior of the castle are hard to miss, the inside has also had a makeover. Some rooms are back to 'normal' with tapestries and collection items displayed, whilst others have become storage areas.
