Berry Pomeroy Castle

Berry Pomeroy Castle consists of a Tudor mansion within the walls of an earlier castle. It is located about a mile northeast of the village of Berry Pomeroy, near Totnes, Devon, England. It occupies a limestone outcrop that overlooks the deep, wooded, narrow valley of the Gatcombe Brook. Between 1980 and 1996 the castle was subjected to extensive archaeological excavations that have clarified much of its history and overturned previously-held opinions.
