Salcombe Castle, Devon Salcombe Castle or Fort Charles is a ruined fortification just off the beach of North Sands in Salcombe, Devon, England, within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is located on a rocky outcrop which is easily reached on foot at low tide. The castle is thought to have been constructed originally during the reign of Henry VIII, to defend the Kingsbridge estuary against French and Spanish pirates. It was the last place to hold out in the Royal cause against the victorious Parliamentarian troops of Oliver Cromwell in the English Civil War. Sir Edmund Fortescue was ordered to hold it in 1643, when nearby Plymouth rose against the king; he rebuilt the castle at a cost of £135 6s 11d, and gave it the name "Fort Charles". The castle was besieged from 15 January to 7 May 1646, and surrendered then only because it became clear that all other royalist strongholds had been overrun; the garrison were allowed to withdraw with their colours flying. After the Civil War the castle was "slighted" (ruined) on the orders of Parliament as it was "too dangerous" to allow it to remain.

A little corner of France in the heart of Holland: a true wonder of a project for a luxurious private home. Careful attention to every single detail of the interior design has recreated the dreamlike moods of the Hotel George V in Paris. The unmistakable style of the historic Parisian hotel relives in the colours and textures, in the period furnishings, and in the refinement of the hand-painted silk wallpapers that even decorate the walls of the magnificent master bathroom.

Sophisticated geometric patterns drawn by the bold contrast between black and white give the bathroom of an elegant Roman apartment an unmistakable retro charm. The pure whiteness of the walls floods the space with light and creates an exclusive atmosphere, in perfect equilibrium with the sculptural volumes of the Nobel pedestal-mounted washbasin, sporting a design inspired by Art Deco architecture, and with the exquisite minimalism of the Vip Time taps and the Time towel rail.

Merging invaluable bespoke charm and passion for quality, Devon&Devon expresses the bathroom experience through an exclusive design concept. Authentic and refined bathtubs, consoles, washbasins, vanity tables and accessories, to live your bathroom rituals in the name of well-being. #bathroomdecor #bathtime #bathroomdesign #interiordesign #interiordesignideas #interiordesigners #home #homedecor #designideas #bathroomideas #luxurybathroom #luxuryhomedecor #devondevon #devonanddevon
