==Gardens== The castle has a [[formal garden]], designed by Lutyens with planting by George Dillistone, which contrasts with its setting on the edge of [[Dartmoor]]. In 1915, Lutyens brought in [[Gertrude Jekyll]] to assist with the planning.{{sfn|Lutyens|1980|p=86}} Jekyll's involvement appears to have been limited to designing the planting for the approach to the castle along the drive.{{sfn|Brown|1982|p=146}} The garden is noted for its [[rhododendron]]s and [[magnolia]]s, [[herbaceous border]]s, [[rose garden]], shrub garden and circular grass tennis court now used for [[croquet]]. The gardens are Grade II* listed.<ref>{{NHLE |num=1000452 |desc=Castle Drogo |accessdate=12 February 2016 }}</ref>
