Compton Castle

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A fantastic fortified manor house, bristling with turrets and parapets, lies in a sheltered valley setting. Compton Castle was built by the Gilbert family, and the same family still inhabits the house today, though now the property is owned by the National Trust. The castle is surrounded by lush gardens, including a period knot garden. Compton Castle was used in the filming of the 1995 film adaptation of Janer Austen's Sense and Sensibility.
