What is recorded here

Castle Drogo is the last castle built in England, rising from West Devon granite for Julius Drewe between 1911 and 1930. Edwin Lutyens resisted the castle demand but shaped a genuine fortress for a tea merchant who believed he was reclaiming ancestral land. The result is a mountain stronghold where modern ambition and medieval fantasy collide without apology.

The National Heritage List for England records Castle Drogo as a registered park or garden at Grade II*. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
