About Dolforgan Court

Stone walls and weathered foundations mark what remains of this medieval manor house, though frankly there's not much left to see. Dolforgan Court was once a proper residence, but centuries of neglect have reduced it to scattered ruins that require a fair bit of imagination to bring back to life. The site sits quietly in the Devon countryside, and while history buffs might appreciate the ancient stonework, most visitors will find themselves wondering if they've missed something. A few interpretive signs would help enormously, but there's precious little information on site about what you're actually looking at. Kids will be bored within minutes unless they're the type who enjoy scrambling over old stones. The setting is pleasant enough - rolling Devon fields stretch in all directions - but you'd get better value from visiting a more substantial historic site nearby. It's free to wander around, which is just as well given how little there is to occupy you. Allow twenty minutes at most, and only if you're already in the area. Given its proximity to several holiday parks around Dawlish, including Devon Cliffs and Golden Sands, it might make a brief stop on a longer walk, but I wouldn't make a special trip.
