England’s Last Castle Tour! You won't believe what's inside Castle Drogo
Join us on an exclusive tour of Castle Drogo, the last castle to be built in England and a stunning example of early 20th-century architecture. Situated on the edge of Dartmoor in Devon, this iconic fortress was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens for the ambitious entrepreneur Julius Drewe. We take you along the approach drive, through the grand entrance (entering from the back door as the main was closed for the season), and explore the richly furnished ground floor rooms. Discover the library, dining room, and drawing room, each telling a story of family life and architectural ingenuity. Learn about the Drewe family's history, their challenges, and the castle's unique blend of medieval style and modern
luxury. We also venture outside to the scenic grounds, the family chapel, and conclude with a walk through the beautifully crafted gardens.

    It should be compulsory purchased as should all long abandoned buildings including those in our towns and cities/brown field sites and converted into accommodation.

      The problem is location. These places are abandoned because the industry they supported is no longer there. And homeless people need more support to get back on their feet than can be provided in such remote locations. I think there are good things that could be done with such places, but they have to be almost self supporting.
