Devon's Most Dreamy Place to Visit - Powderham Castle - House of Courtenay & The Secret Garden 🌹

Powderham Castle deserves more publicity. Not only is it a perfect place to explore, the history of the House of Courtenay should be studied. A great example of family legacy and a continuous effort to inject new ideas and energy into the Estate! Perfect as a day trip from Exeter.
Of course, my mind was blown when I read the the love-at-first-sight fairytale between the current Earl of Devon (Charles Courtenay) and Countess (AJ Langer aka Rayanne in 'My So-called Life').
*As of September/October 2023, the couple filed for divorce. =_(
