Bickleigh Castle is a fortified manor house that stands on the banks of the River Exe at Bickleigh in Devon, England. Once considerably larger, Bickleigh now comprises a group of buildings from various periods which together formed a water castle.
It has also historically been known as Bickleigh Court. The main building was destroyed during the English Civil War, however other buildings survived, mostly arranged around a central courtyard. In the present day, the castle serves principally as a wedding venue, though at times is open to the public by appointment.
