Hembury Castle

First time being in this area of Dartmoor and the views from up on the ruins of Hembury castle are stunning. So are the size of the Ant hills we watched them for awhile. Short walks all over the area and not that hard to find from roadside.

Beautiful location and some great walking trails too

Not too much to see as it's all gone apart from the remains of the moat. It's a steep hill, which kind of explains why it was a good place for a hill fort. Reasonably signposted but if you approach from Buckfast Abbey the turning to the right is after the brow of the hill so you feel you have missed it. Great views from the top and lots of paths to explore. Path shared by horses, great to be able to get right down to the river and walk alongside it too.

Great for a walk

Not worth it, just a small mound of dirt
