Haldon Belvedere (Lawrence Castle), Exeter, greetings card
Haldon Belvedere is a stunning castle in Higher Ashton, near Exeter in Devon. I always think of it as a real-life fairy castle! Its distinctive triangular shape with turrets and clean cream walls are beautifully characterful. Haldon Belvedere is visible from miles around due to its position high up on Haldon Hill amongst Haldon Forest - it can be seen from many locations around the city and it’s instantly recognisable.
Built in 1788, Lawrence Castle was designed at the height of the Romantic Period in the Georgian era by Sir Robert Palk in memory of his friend, Major-General Stringer Lawrence. It is now owned by the Stringer Lawrence Memorial Trust.
Grade II listed, Haldon Belvedere was restored in the 1990s by Devon Historic Buildings Trust. It has 99 steps up its stone cantilevered spiral staircase to the roof and stunning panoramic views of the Devon countryside as far as the Jurassic coast, Dartmoor and the South Hams.
Card is blank inside for any occasion. Card is A6 size, supplied with high quality white envelope. Buy 4 greetings cards for £10 by entering code 4FOR10 at checkout.

My Local Landmarks series are a collection of hand-drawn illustrations that I have chosen to draw because they mean something to me - maybe I just love a building or the character, or have memories of fun family trips there, or I think they represent my home county of Devon in an interesting way.
I have illustrated them in pencil then pen and ink, with all the characterful features explored in beautiful detail.
This print will be treasured for years to come and will certainly make a talking point!
A4 sized prints, supplied unframed so you can frame them to suit your interior.
