Nestled in the verdant scenery of Devon, Berry Pomeroy Castle has been a silent observer of centuries of history. However, despite its picturesque exterior, the castle is better known for its hair-raising ghost stories and folklore. One such legend that has lingered through the years and captivated the locals involves a hidden treasure. The tale goes that in the early 17th century, a wealthy noble hid a vast fortune within the castle’s confines to keep it from falling into the wrong hands. The treasure was never recovered, its existence remains a mystery that fuels endless speculation. Some say it’s still hidden in some unknown corner of the ruins or buried underground, waiting to be discovered. Intriguingly, it’s been reported that the castle’s spectral residents guard the treasure with an otherworldly fervor. Many adventurers and treasure hunters daring enough to seek out the trove have reported eerie happenings, spectral sights, and phantom voices warning them away. More than one explorer has left the castle in the dead of the night, never to return. Despite the chilling tales, or perhaps because of them, Berry Pomeroy Castle remains a place of fascination, its combination of beauty and mystery drawing visitors in from near and far. To this day, the castle’s treasures remain an enduring mystery, perhaps protected by those spectral residents who refuse to let the material treasures – like themselves – depart for the world of the living. However, the greatest treasure the castle offers could well be the stories and folklore that have stood the test of time.
