Sightseeing
Drogo Castle was the last castle built in England. Only a mile or two from Monks, the gardens and views are glorious and there is a wonderful circular walk from the carpark at Drogo, along the Hunters Path, down to Fingle Bridge for a splendid Devon cream tea, and back along the River Teign to Drogo. (Approximately 2 hours for the circuit walk).
There is also an excellent gift shop and tea room at Drogo.
