What's included

Embrace a touch of tradition with a leisurely game of croquet at Bovey Castle, set against the backdrop of our beautiful countryside estate. This quintessentially English garden game is made even more enjoyable when played on the manicured lawns of our historic castle, where rolling green landscapes and fresh Dartmoor air create the perfect setting.

The croquet lawn is fully equipped with everything you need, so guests can simply pick up a mallet and get started. Whether you are new to the game or a seasoned player, croquet is a wonderfully sociable activity that encourages friendly competition and light-hearted fun for families, couples and groups of friends.

As you make your way around the hoops, enjoy the relaxed pace of this traditional sport and take in the views of the castle gardens. It is the ideal way to spend an afternoon outdoors, combining gentle exercise with plenty of laughter and conversation.

The croquet lawn also serves as the meeting point for many of our country pursuits and family activities, so it is often a lively hub of excitement and anticipation. Guests gathering for archery, falconry or guided trails will often meet here, making it a central part of the Bovey Castle experience.

Whether played before lunch, as a break from exploring Dartmoor, or as part of a family holiday, croquet at Bovey Castle offers a timeless slice of country life in a truly unforgettable setting.
