What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Plympton Castle as a scheduled monument. 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.
Plympton Castle was built in the 13th century by the Bishop of Exeter as a fortified residence. It is important as a well-preserved example of medieval ecclesiastical architecture and as a symbol of the bishops' secular power in Devon.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
