HISTORICAL BUILDINGS
Dotted across the landscape of the region
are fascinating buildings to be discovered.
Why not visit a majestic castle, many still
stand strong overlooking ancient towns
and countryside, some have been restored
and others are merely ruins.
Culmstock Beacon
Exeter Castle
Totnes Castle
Tavistock
Or perhaps take a trip to one of the
stately homes which hold a lifetime of
memories from previous owners, and
wander around their gardens admiring
the beautifully landscaped grounds.
ANCIENT HISTORY
Dartmouth Castle
If ancient history is more your thing, the
area will not leave you disappointed.
Step back in time to the prehistoric era as
you explore the Jurassic Coast and the
secrets held within the rocks of beasts
that once roamed the earth. Or, head to
the wilderness of Dartmoor where you
can find Bronze Age settlements, stone
circles and Neolithic sites. The Blackdown
Hills AONB also boasts great sites of
interest such as Iron Age hillforts and
Bronze Age cemeteries.
