Picton Castle has been the historic home of the Philipps' family who are direct descendents of Sir John Wogan who built the Castle over 850 years ago.
Picton Castle is open all year round for weddings
and corporate events and
during the summer there are guided tours of the Castle
which still retains much of its original character.
The 40 acres of gardens are open to the public. Part
of the Royal Horticultural Society Regional Garden Scheme
they are home to a feast of Rhododendrons, Embothrium
and Eucryphia.
The Woodland Gardens burst with colour during the spring with blankets of wild flowers blended with beautiful shrubs from all corners of the world. In the summer the restored walled garden with its enchanting fountain and fernery is a haven of tranquillity.
The art gallery is host to a variety of
artist exhibitions and the events
schedule is a popular feature of the Picton Castle calendar
with garden lectures, open air theatre and family days
being just some of the fun events on offer.
The Courtyard is the hub of activity with Maria's Mediterranean restaurant serving delicious home cooked food, after which a visit to the Castle gift shop and the children's art room is a must.

gardens and gallery.
