About Nutwell

Nutwell, located in the parish of Woodbury on the south coast of Devon, is home to the historic Nutwell Court, a Georgian neo-classical mansion listed as Grade II*.

Its proximity to Powderham Castle across the water adds to the area's historical charm, making it a notable location for planning applications related to heritage and conservation.
