A dramatic fortified manor house and small formal garden
A rare survivor, this medieval fortress with high curtain walls, towers and a portcullis, is set in a landscape of rolling hills and orchards. Compton Castle is a bewitching mixture of romance and history. It has been home to the Gilbert family for nearly 600 years, including Sir Humphrey Gilbert – a half-brother to Sir Walter Raleigh.
You can wander around this charming small castle’s medieval kitchen, great hall, solar and subsolar.
