Berry Pomeroy Castle is tucked away in a steep wooded valley and is a romantic ruin with a colourful history of intrigue. Originally work started on the castle in the 15th century, beginning in around 1560 and being enlarged around 1600 with the intentions of being one of the most spectacular houses in Devon – to match both Longleat and Audley End. However, work was never completed and was abandoned by 1700. Since then, Berry Pomeroy Castle has become the focus of blood-curdling ghost stories – some of which can be heard on the audio tour that is available at the castle. The castle’s location is perfect for walkers who wish to explore local woodland or you could enjoy a light lunch or home

25 years ago, The Oyster Shack was an oyster farm that has been gradually extended to become the restaurant that it is today. The restaurant is situated both inside and outside, offering a rustic and cosy inside setting in the winter, and fabulous alfresco dining during the summer. The food on their menu is ‘caught, foraged and sourced from the local area’ and they pride themselves on their seafood and shellfish. (If you are planning on driving the tidal road to get to the Oyster Shack, please check the tide times before you set off!). Why not have a look at their website here: www.oystershack.co.uk
