Castle Drogo



Very Cloudy this morning and after around a hour it started raining and we had a short thunder storm.

We decided to visit Castle Drogo, a country house and castle near Drewsteighnton. It was built between 1911 and 1930 for Julius Drewe to designs by architect Edwin Lutyens.. It is currently undergoing a 5 year conservation project to make it watertight.

It is a grade 1 listed building which has leaked ever since it was built. We went on the very interesting hard hat tour around the conservation works.

The heavy showers eventually stopped and it turned into a very warm afternoon. We headed back to the caravan around 5pm.
