Description

The Whiddon Park Deer Park Wall is a significant structure, likely dating back to the medieval period, and may have originally served as a deer park. It is constructed from granite rubble, featuring large pieces of granite, and is notably thick, reaching heights of up to 3 meters in some areas. The wall is well-preserved and includes a ditch on its inner side. It surrounds a deer park that was once part of Whiddon Park House, which is located in the parish of Chagford. Whiddon Park House itself is a substantial residence built in the late 16th to early 17th century and was the home of the Whiddon family. The estate later came into the possession of the Drewe family, who constructed Castle Drogo in the nearby parish of Drewsteignton.
