England's youngest castle, designed by Lutyens and built of Dartmoor granite with all the mod-cons of the 1920's. At 300 metres high, it catches the wildest of Dartmoor's weather. Try a spot of croquet on the croquet lawn or amble through the garden and miles of walks in the Teign Gorge.
The home of the Fulford family since c1190, this beautiful house is in a lovely setting. Only a handful of tours take place throughout the year so plan your visit carefully. Please see their Website for tour dates and booking details.
This is home to the remains of 24 round houses thought to date back to the Bronze Age, some sited on their own and others grouped together. These all lie within a perimeter stone wall and the entire site can be fabulously viewed from Hookney Point.
Said to have been the inspiration for Conan Doyle's 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'. The Hound Tor area of Dartmoor is famed for its ghosts. The excavated remains of a medieval Devon village clearly showing the layout of four longhouses and barns shelters on the northern slopes of the tor, commanding superb views across Dartmoor.
