Compton Castle in the parish of Marldon[2] in Devon, is a fortified manor house in the village of Compton (formerly "Compton Pole"), about 5 miles (8 km) west of Torquay on the southern coast of Devon, England (grid reference SX865648). The estate was home to the families of Compton, de la Pole, Doddiscombe,[3] Gilbert and Templer.[4] The castle has been home to the Gilbert family for most of the time since it was built.[5] Listed as a Grade 1 set of buildings, it has been a National Trust property since 1951.[6]
