The Tom Cobley and Castle Drogo, Spreyton and Drewsteignton, Devon - 11th August 2016
We spend a day at Castle Drogo, a few miles away from Grandma J's at Drewsteignton. After a wander around the castle, designed by Arts-and-Crafts god Edward Lutyens and in the process of a major £multi-million renovation, we meet up with Sis and Matt and hang out on the croquet pitch for a while. Later, we haul Grandma J out for a nosh-up at the legendary Tob Cobley Tavern in Spreyton.
