Open to visitorscheck opening times and admission before you go
The Courtenay family, Earls of Devon, have held Powderham since Sir Philip Courtenay began building it in the 1390s. It sits low beside the Exe estuary near Kenton, inside a deer park grazed by fallow deer, the medieval core much altered over later centuries. House and gardens open to visitors on paid tickets, generally spring through autumn; the estuary and its birds lie right alongside.
