Compton Castle is now closed for 2024

Thank you for your support this year. Compton Castle is now closed for the rest of this year and will reopen in April 2025. Looking to plan a visit next year? Why not take a browse at what you can see and do when Compton Castle is open again, from strolling through the Rose garden to dressing up in the castle. We look forward to welcoming you back then.

Visitors inside the library at Greenway, Devon. One visitor has a baby in a baby carrier, smiling as they explore the room. In the background a volunteer can be seen pointing out something to a visitor.

Plan your next day out
